melt.
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the 
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and 
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil 
to a powdery ash. 
The oven is preset for a 3
 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but 
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 
2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3
 hours 30 minutes 
and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. 
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp 
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven 
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool, damp cloth to the 
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in 
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or 
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a 
clean time other than 3
 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can 
be set between 2 hours 30 minutes
 and 4 hours 30 minutes. 
3. Press START/ENTER.
The oven door will automatically lock. The ON and DOOR 
LOCKED oven indicator lights will light up. The door will not 
unlock until the oven cools.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will 
appear on the oven display and the oven indicator lights will 
go off.
4. Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the oven display.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door 
will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
