move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during high temp self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area. ■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance. How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The High Temp Self-Cleaning Cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 4 hour 30 minute clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 4 hours 30 minutes and 5 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level. CLEANING LEVEL TOTAL CLEANING TIME (includes a 30 minute cool down time) 1 (Quick) 3 hours 30 minutes 2 (Reg) 3 (Maxi) 4 hours 30 minutes 5 hours 30 minutes Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled. The oven lights will not work during the High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle. On double oven models, only one oven can self-clean at a time. If one oven is high temp self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set or turned on. NOTE: The oven has a 2 speed cooling fan motor. During selfclean the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the selfclean cycle until the oven cools. To Start High-Temp Self-Cleaning: Before high temp self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 1. On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen. 2. Touch SELF CLEAN. Touch SELF CLEAN repeatedly to set a clean time other than 4 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours and 30 minutes. Number keys cannot be used to set a clean time. 3. Touch START. The oven will start locking the door and display "Locking Door." Opening the door at this point will cancel the selfclean cycle. "Door Locked" will display once the door is locked. Then, the start time and stop time will appear in the oven display. When the cycle is complete and the oven is cool, "self clean complete" will appear on the oven display and "DOOR LOCKED" will disappear. The door will not unlock until the oven is cool. If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute. 4. Touch CANCEL for the selected oven, or open and close the oven door to clear the oven display and/or stop reminder tones. To Delay the Start of High Temp Self-Cleaning: Before starting a delayed High Temp Self-Clean cycle, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See "Clock" section. Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 1. On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen. 2. Touch SELF CLEAN. Touch SELF CLEAN repeatedly to set a clean time other than 4 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours and 30 minutes. Number keys cannot be used to set clean time. 3. Touch STOP TIME. 4. Touch the number keys to enter the time of day to stop. 5. Touch START. The start time and stop time is automatically calculated and displayed. The door will not lock until the start time is reached. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. The oven will start locking the door and will display "Locking Door." Opening the door at this point will cancel the self-clean cycle. "Door Locked" will display once the door is locked. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, "self clean complete" will appear on the oven display and "DOOR LOCKED" will disappear. The door will not unlock until the oven is cool. 6. Touch CANCEL for the selected oven, or open and close the oven door to clear the oven display. To Stop High Temp Self-Cleaning anytime: Touch CANCEL, UPPER CANCEL or LOWER CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools. 16
