SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The self-cleaning mode of your new range features a pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle.
When set to the CLEAN mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off
all food residues from the inside of the oven.
It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the clean cycle, depending on the
content and amount of greasy residues in the oven. If the flame persists, turn off
the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door and wipe off the excessive
residues.
At the end of the CLEAN cycle, some grey ash or burned residue may remain
inside the oven. This is a mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The amount of
ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily
removed, when the oven is cold, using a damp paper towel, sponge, or cloth.
Wipe off any smoke residue that remains on the front frame with a cleaning product
suitable for oven cavity cleaning. If stains remain, use a mild liquid cleaner. The
amount of smoke stain is directly related to the amount of food residues in the oven
cavity before the start of the self-cleaning cycle.
DESCRIPTION In the self-cleaning cycle, the oven cavity is heated to very high temperatures to
burn off any residue on the oven interior. After the cleaning cycle, any burnt off
residue is transformed to ash and can be easily wiped out with a damp sponge.
Spilled fruit juices may permanently discolour surfaces. This discoloration is
permanent but will not affect the efficiency of the enamel.
If the oven is not cleaned regularly, debris may become extremely difficult to remove
even with the CLEAN function.
PREPARE Before starting the CLEAN function:
‐ Remove large pieces of debris and grease deposits from the interior of the oven
cavity. Debris and grease can ignite at high temperatures.
‐ Remove all accessories from the oven. The high temperature reached during the
cycle will damage the accessories.
DOOR LOCK When the CLEAN cycle starts, the automatic door lock cycle begins. Check the door
to confirm that it is locked. You can stop the self-cleaning cycle by turning the
function selector to the OFF position. The CLEANING light will turn off only after the
oven has cooled below 500°F and the automatic door lock has completed its cycle to
the open position.
NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE OVEN DOOR IS LOCKED AT THE BEGINNING
OF THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE.
START 
1. Check that the oven cavity is completely empty and the oven door correctly
closed.
2. Select CLEAN fu on oven function selector.
3. Set temperature selector to CLEAN.
After these 3 steps the cooling fans will activate, the oven door will lock
automatically after 60 seconds and both the pre-heating and clean light indicators
will turn on.
As soon as clean light turns on check to ensure that the oven door is correctly
locked.
The self-cleaning cycle lasts approximately 2-2 ¼ hours; 30-40 minutes for pre-
heating the oven (pre-heating and clean light both on), 60 minutes for actual
cleaning (heating and clean light both on), 30-35 minutes for cool-down (only clean
light on).
