As soon os Flex Cleon becomes active, a motor driven

lock mechanism will begin locking the oven door

automatically. DOOR LOCKED will appear in the

display (See Fig. 1). DO NOT open the oven door when

DOOR LOCKED is flashing (allow 15 seconds for the

lock mechanism to lock the oven).

Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the

When Flex Clean is finished:

1. CLn message will turn off and Hot will appear in display

window (See Fig. 3).

2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot

is no longer displayed the DOOR LOCKED message will

turn off. When this message turns off the oven door

may be opened.

ik CAUTION

Use caution when opening the oven door

after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT

and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to

the side of the oven when opening the oven door to

allow hot air or steam to escape.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe

away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth

or paper towel.

Important notes:

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open

window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st

self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors

associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.

• When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain

locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition

to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow

about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you

will be able to open the oven door.

• The Flex Clean function will not operate whenever a

radiant surface element is ON or the oven lockout is

active.

a

delay Flex Clean with default clean

time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o’clock:

1. Press STOP .

2. If Flex Clean has heated the oven to

a

high

temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool

and for the DOOR LOCKED message to turn OFF. When

this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

3. Restart Flex Clean if needed.

Important notes:

• When Flex Clean function is active you may check the

amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Flex

Clean key pad once.

• If Flex Clean is active and a power failure occurs, the

oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. This would

depend on how much cleaning time had elapsed before

the power failure. If needed after power is restored, set

Flex Clean again.

• If your control is set with the default 12 hour display

mode, the Delay Flex Clean can only be set to start up to

11 hours and

59

minutes in advance. To set a Delay Start

Flex Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23

hours and 59 minutes) in advance, be sure to set the

control for 24 hour display mode.
