To avoid the risk of burns, do not touch areas albove the oven door and around the oven vent (cover vent is located in center of backsplash). These areas become hot enough to cause burns during the self-clean cycle. Do not store or set items in front of oven vent since this area can become extremelv warm. TO SET THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TO START NOW:
Make sure you have read and followed the instructions
outlined in the previous section �Before Operating SelfClean Cycle.� Check to see that the clock is set at the correct time of day (see page 9). 1. Slide the Door Lock Lever to the right as shown below. The lever must be all the way to the right for self-cleaning to take place. If it is not �DOOR� will appear in display,

For example, if the current time of day is 4:00 p.m. and you want to set the self-clean cycle to be finished at 9:00 p.m., set the stop time for 9:O0. The oven will automatically turn on at 6:00 p.m. and then turn off at 9:00 p.m.

The oven is now set for a delayed start. �DELAY CLEAN� and �STOP TIME� will appear in display The oven will not turn on until the clock reaches the calculated start time. The �ON� will appear in the display when the self-clean cycle starts. NOTE: Since this is a twelve-hour clock, the maximum amount of time you can program for delay is 12 hours.

It should always be left unobstructed.
