OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
1. Turn the OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP knobs to
CLEAN. The controls will snap into final position
when the CLEAN location is reached.
2. Slide the latch
handle to the right
as far as it will go.
Never force the
latch handle.
Forcing the handle
will da-mage the door
lock mechanism.
3. Set the automatic oven timer:
Make sure
both the clock
and the Start
Dial show the
correct time of
day. When the
Start Dial is
pushed in and
turned, it will
"pop" into
place when the time shown on the clock is reached.
After a Clean Cycle
After cleaning is complete, turn the OVEN SET knob
to OFF. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to warm. Wait
until the oven has cooled below locking temperature.
Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go and
open the door. The oven door will stay locked until
the oven cools.
When oven is cool,
slide the latch
handle to the left as
far as it will go and
open the door.

(continued)
Decide on cleaning hours necessary.
Recommended Cleaning Time:
Moderate Soil—2 hours
(thin spills and light spatter)
Heavy Soil—3 hours
(heavy, greasy spills and spatter)
Add these hours to present time of day, then push
in and turn the Stop Dial clockwise to this desired
stop time. The Oven Cleaning Light glows, indicating
cleaning has started. This light cycles on and off with
the oven heating elements after the oven reaches
cleaning temperature.
The oven door and window get hot during self-
cleaning. DO NOT TOUCH.
NOTE: To start and stop cleaning at a later time than
shown on clock, push in and turn the Start Dial to the
time you wish to start. Add the hours needed for
cleaning to this "start" time, then push in and turn the
Stop Dial to this desired "stop" time. The oven will
automatically turn on and off at the set times.
Never force the latch handle. The latch slides easily.
Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with
a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are
usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the
clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat
the cycle.
If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil.
