How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Make sure the clock shows the correct
time of day.
Latch the door.
Turn the Oven Temperature knob
to CLEAN.
On some models, you must push the Oven
Temperature knob in before turning.
Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.
Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set
the time cleaning will start.
When the CLEAN light flashes, slide
the latch handle to the left as far as it
will go and turn the Oven Temperature
knob to OFF.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean
cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
■
You cannot set the oven for cooking
until the oven is cool enough for the
door to be unlatched.
■
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
press the CLOCK pad to display the
time of day. To return to the clean
countdown, press the COOK TIME
ON/OFF pad.
■
If the shelves become hard to slide,
apply a small amount of vegetable oil or
cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe
the edges of the oven shelves with the
paper towel.
