How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Press the Self Clean pad for a
4-hour clean time.
If a time other than 5 hours is needed, use
the number pads and enter the desired
clean time.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on
how dirty your oven is.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended
for use when cleaning small, contained
spills. A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is
recommended for a
dirtier oven.
Press the Delay Start pad.
Using the number pads, enter the time of
day you want the clean cycle to start.
Press the Start pad.
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.
A white discoloration may appear after
cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not
wiped up before the clean cycle. This is normal
and will NOT affect performance.
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 unlock.
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 Self
Clean pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will
show the start time. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the temperature
drops below the lock temperature and the
LOCKED light goes off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be
able to open the door.
Standard Racks
If they become hard to slide, wipe their side
edges and the oven rack supports with cooking
oil.
Extension Rack
If it becomes difficult to slide or if the release
levers become difficult to use, see Extension
Rack in the Care and cleaning section. Do not
spray extension rack with cooking spray or
other lubricant sprays.
If it becomes hard to remove or replace, wipe
the oven rack supports with cooking oil. Do not
wipe cooking oil on the slides.
NOTE: After the first self-clean cycle, the gray
stainless steel surfaces will change color on
enameled extension racks. This is normal. It is
not recommended to self-clean nickel extension
racks as the whole rack will discolor because of
the self-clean temperatures.
