To set the Self Clean mode:

1. Remove all accessories and racks from the oven.
2. Select the oven to be self-cleaned (for double ovens). If there is a cooking mode on for selected oven, press Oven Clear/Off to end the running mode.
3. Press the Self Clean button below the display. The Self Clean icon q appears in the display. The Self Clean timer default (4:00) hours blinks to indicate it can be accepted or changed. To accept the 4:00 hour default Self Clean time, press Enter on the numeric keypad. To enter a different number of hours use the numeric keypad. The value entered must be within the range of 2:00 to 4:00 hours. Entering a value less than 2:00 or greater than 4:00 results in an error tone and message. Use a longer setting for a heavily soiled oven.

4. When the desired Self Clean time is displayed press Enter on the numeric keypad. The oven door locks prior to starting Self Clean. The door lock symbol L is displayed and blinks while the door is being locked. Once locked, the door lock symbol is continuously illuminated (not blinking).

The door lock symbol remains illuminated as long as
the Self Clean mode is running.
Note: The door remains locked until the oven has
cooled down after self-cleaning. The door can be
opened again only after Self Clean disappears from the
display.

5. Self Clean starts and the oven Self Clean timer begins its countdown. To Cancel Self Clean Press the Oven Clear/Off button to cancel Self Clean. When the Self Clean timer ends, for safety the unit must cool down before the door can unlock. During this period the message “COOLING DOWN” is displayed.
6. When the cooldown is complete, the message “SELF CLEAN FINISHED” is displayed.
7. Press Oven Clear/Off to clear the display when Self Clean is finished.
8. After the oven has cooled down and the door is unlocked, wipe remaining ash from the oven using a moist cloth.

Note:
The oven light cannot be turned on during Self Clean.
The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished
components in the oven can become discolored over
time. This is normal and does not affect operation. Do
not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners to treat
discolorations.
 In double oven models: Self Clean is only available for
one oven at a time. The other oven must be turned off.

Avoid These Cleaners
Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®.
They may damage the oven finish or parts.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Do not use flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or
WD-40.
Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleaners are
corrosive to stainless steel. Check ingredients on label
before using.
