Seif-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 also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
vent. If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. 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).
