Seif-Cleaning
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 (n^ pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self­
clean cycle remembeTfo 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).
A CAUTION To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the
side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

A CAUTION DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and
