Self clean function
With pyrolytic self cleaning the oven is heated to a very
high temperature. Stubborn soil is burnt off and can be
wiped out after self clean is finished.
After the completion of a self-clean cycle, the oven will not
allow you to start another self-clean cycle for 24hours. For
a double oven, if one cavity runs self clean, neither cavity
may operate a self clean cycle for 24hours.
