2. Remove the broiler pan grid and any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven if most of the soil is removed first by hand-cleaning or a dish- washer. If most of the soil is not removed, excessive smoking will occur.
lf a cleaning cycle other than 3 hours is desired, use the Hour and Minute pads to set the desired cleaning time. Push the “up” (A) or “down” (V) pad(s) until a time between 2-4 hours shows in the display. l Use 2 hours for light soil. l Use 3-4 hours for moderate to heavy soil.
6. After the Self-Cleanlng cycle is started, LOCKED lights up in the display when the oven temperature exceeds normal baking roasting temperatures. The Lock Lever must not be moved and the door cannot be opened when LOCKED is on. 7. After the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed, the time of day will show in the display.
Special tips l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self- Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke. l After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth. l Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.
