What happens during the self-
clean cycle:
After the controls have been set on
a non-delayed cycle, or after the
delayed time has elapsed on a
delayed cycle:
The Oven Indicator Light will glow
to teil you the oven is heating.
©The Lock Indicator Light will come
on when the temperature reaches
575°F-600°F (approximately 15
minutes).
At the end of the Self-Clean
cycle:
e The Oven Indicator Light will
go out.
e The Lock Indicator Light will
continue to glow until the oven
temperature drops below 550°F.
The oven door cannot be opened
until the Lock Indicator Light goes
out. Do not turn the Thermostat
or Selector to OFF until Lock
Indicator Light goes out.
To return oven to regular use
after a self-clean cycle:
1. Slide the Oven Lock Lever all the
way to the left.
2. Tum the Thermostat and
Selector to OFF.
3. Allow oven to cool sufficiently
before wiping up any residue.
Oven self-cleaning tips:
© Evening is a good time to clean
the oven, after normal oven use is
completed.
e Small amounts of smoke escaping
from the oven vent are normal
when oven is heavily soiled.
Excessive smoke may indicate
heavy spillovers have not been
wiped up.
*Do not force the Oven Lock Lever
open when the Lock Indicator
Light is on. Damage to the lock
mechanism may result.
eTo prevent accidental locking, the
Oven Lock Lever should always be
unlocked (positioned to the far
left) except when the Selector and
Thermostat are set at CLEAN. If
accidental locking occurs, turn
oven off. Allow oven temperature
to decrease so Lock Lever can be
moved. Do not force Lock Lever.
Wait until it moves easily.
e Clean oven regularly, before it
becomes “excessively dirty.” If
oven is not clean after one cycle,
repeat the Self-Clean cycle.
e After a Self-Clean cycle, any
powdery residue can be wiped
away with a damp cloth or
sponge. If white spots remain in
the oven after a Self-Clean cycle,
remove them with a mild abrasive
cleanser or cleaning sponge
before using the oven again.
These spots are usually salt
residues that cannot be removed
during the Self-Clean cycle.
e |f the soil removal was not
complete, increase the length of
the clean time in the next cycle.
