SETTING THE SELF-CLEANING MODE
Before using the Self-Cleaning Mode please read the Oven Care and Cleaning page
carefully and follow the Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning first.
SELF-CLEAN
Turn the mode knob in the proper position then press the +/- knob to start a
cleaning cycle.
The oven self-cleaning time can be set using the timed cooking instructions to delay
the self-cleaning cycle.
The maximum allowed clean time is 3 hours, the minimum is 1 hour. The default
time is 1h:30min, the clock display shows P1:30. At the end of the self-cleaning
activity the display shows P--- steady and A flashing. The icons will disappear from
the display when the mode selector is turned to the OFF position. The door remains
locked until the oven temperature drops below the safety threshold, at this time the
control unlocks the door.
The cooling fan starts as soon as the self-clean is selected and turns to its
higher speed when the internal components get hot. The oven temperature is
automatically set to 460°F (238°C) in order to perfectly clean the cavity.
The control also locks the door immediately for your safety because the oven
temperature will become extremely hot. The Lock icon LED shows the status of the
latch mechanism at any time:
•
Door unlocked, lock LED off.
•
Door locked, lock LED always on.
•
Latch moving, transition in progress, lock LED flashing.
To reuse the oven after self-cleaning, turn the oven mode knob to the OFF position.
