Note (some range models only): During the self-cleaning, the surface element, when used, are subjected to high heat.

To ensure maximum element life, a safe guard locks off the use of the surface elements during the self-clean cycle. Once the oven cleaning cycle is completed and the oven door can be opened, the surface elements can be utilized.

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle

*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, and a 3 hour cycle for average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:

1.

Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

2.

Push the CLEAN pad. "- - -" appears in the display.

3.

Push the UP ARROW pad until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or push the DOWN ARROW pad until

"2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.

4.

As soon as the UP or DOWN ARROW pad is released, "CLn" appears in the display.

5.

As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "Door Locked" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close).

6.

The "Door Locked" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled, and the oven temperature has cooled.

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:

1.

The time of day or "End" will appear in the display window and the "Clean" and "Door Locked" light will continue to glow.

2.

Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "Door Locked" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3.

If "End" is in display and the "Clean" indicator remains on, press CLEAR OFF pad. The time of day will appear in the display.

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:

1.

Push the CLEAR OFF pad.

2.

Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "Door Locked" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3.

Correct the condition which caused the smoking.

4.

Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

Use care when opening the oven door after self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Recalibrating Your Oven Temperature

Recalibrating Your Oven Temperature

The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

To Adjust Oven Temperature:

1.

Push the BAKE pad.

2.

Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pushing and holding the UP ARROW pad.

3.

Within 2 seconds, push and hold the BAKE pad until the special 2 digit display appears. Release the BAKE pad. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read "00."

4.

The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (17°C), in 5°F (1°C) steps by pushing and holding the UP or DOWN

ARROW pad. Adjust until the desired amount of degrees offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.

5.

When you have made the desired adjustment, push the CLEAR OFF pad to go back to the time of day display.

Note: The adjustment made will not change the self-cleaning temperature.

Failure Modes

All failure modes give a visual and audible alarm. When display shows F1 (internal fault), F3 (oven sensor circuit fault) or F9

(motor door lock fault), the electronic oven control has detected a fault condition. Note that code and push the CLEAR OFF pad to clean the display and stop the beeping. Reprogram the oven. If fault recurs, push CLEAR OFF pad, disconnect the appliance to prevent damage and contact an authorized servicer.
