Self-Cleaning

What to Expect during Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those

used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is

aiso normai as the food soii is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
vent. If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cieaning, they may flame and cause

more smoke and odor than usuai. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm.
If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

The cooktop lockout Q feature will be activated during the self-clean and will unlock

after the oven has cooled down.

Self-Clean Cycle Time Length

The FLEX CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning

to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven
to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So
a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

*lt is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for

light soils, a 3 hour cycle for

average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
