staRtinG tHe oven self-clean cYcle
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time
for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

leave small children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven

4. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to Clean position.
5. The Lock indicator light will flash while changing from unlock to lock. It will stop flashing
when the door is locked.

If the "racks" indicator light is flashing when the clean mode is initiated, the oven racks and rack
glides with supports have not been removed. It will continue flashing, once the selector knob is set
