As soon as Self Clean becomes active, a motor driven
lock mechanism will begin locking the oven door
automatically, and door Loc will appear in the display
(See Fig. 1). DO NOT open the oven door when door
Loc is displayed (allow 15 seconds for the lock
mechanism to lock the oven).
Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the
display indicating Self Clean has started (Fig. 2).

When Self Clean is finished:
Use caution when opening the oven door
after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and
can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the
side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot
air or steam to escape.
1. CLn message will turn off and Hot will appear in
display window (See Fig. 3).
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and
Hot is no longer displayed the door OPn message will
appear (Fig. 4). When this message turns off the
oven door may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe
away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth
or paper towel.
Important notes:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an
open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
1st self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal
odors associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.
If Self Clean is active and then interrupted by power
failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly
cleaned, it may be necessary to run a self-clean cycle
again. If the oven temperature was high enough when
interrupted you may need to allow up to 4 hours for the
oven to cool before Self Clean can be started again.
When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition
to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow
about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you
will be able to open the oven door.
The Self Clean function will not operate whenever a
Control Lock is active.
