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 Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in the glass breaking. The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. On combination oven models, the upper oven will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

5. Press START/ENTER. The start time is automatically calculated and displayed. The door will automatically lock and �LOCKED� and �DELAY� will appear on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically turn on. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, �End� will appear on the lower oven display and �LOCKED� will disappear. 6. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Stop Self-Clean any time:
Press UPPER OFF, LOWER OFF or OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.

To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 1. On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. 2. Press AUTO CLEAN. 3. Press the HR �up� or �down� arrow pad to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. 4. Press START/ENTER. The oven door will automatically lock, and �LOCKED� will appear on the oven display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, �End� will appear on the oven display and �LOCKED� will disappear. 5. Press UPPER OFF, LOWER OFF or OFF/CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the oven display.
