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.
To Serf-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
2. Press the HR and MIN "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.
3. Press START/ENTER.
The oven door will automatically lock. "LOCKED" will appear
on the 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.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Before delay starting Self-Clean, 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. Press AUTO CLEAN.
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.

the time of day to start.
4. Press START/ENTER.
The time of day is 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.
5. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
To Stop Self-Clean any time:
Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, "cln,"
"TIMED," "ON," "cool," and "LOCKED" will appear on the display
and the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven
cools.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
• Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing
pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.
CERAMIC GLASS (on some models)
Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly
to prevent streaking and staining.
Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended for regular use to help
prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the
cooktop. It may be ordered as an accessory. See "Assistance or
Service" to order.
A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and
can be ordered as an accessory. See "Assistance or Service" to
order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor
blades out of the reach of children.
