Oven Cleaning
NOTE: A smoke eliminator
in the oven vent converts
most of the soil into a
colorless vapor.
Self-Clean Cycle time length (Model A)
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for
average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well
ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the Self-Clean
cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start
Self-Clean Cycle:
(Note: If you do not want to start a Delayed Self-Clean Cycle, skip steps 2 & 3.)
1.
Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Press START TIME pad.
3.
Press and hold the UP ARROW pad to scroll to the time to start the delayed Self-Clean
cycle. Release the pad when the desired time is displayed.
4. Press SELECT CLEAN pad. "- -" appears in the display.
5. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW once. "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour
cycle. To change to a 2 hour cycle press DOWN ARROW. "2:00" appears in the
display or to select a 4 hour cycle press UP ARROW. "4:00" appears in the display. As
soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and
the “Door Locked” indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the oven door while the
light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock).
6. "CLn" will appear in the display during the Self-Clean cycle and the "Door Locked"
light will glow until the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete or cancelled and the oven
temperature has cooled.
To avoid
possible burns use care
when opening the oven
door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the
door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
DO NOT
force the oven door open.
This can damage the
automatic door locking
system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when
opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle has
completed. The oven may
still be VERY HOT.
Select Clean Cycle (Model A), Clean or Speed Clean Cycle (Model B)

Clean or Speed Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Cleaning cycles.
