What To Do
Reset the clock. If the oven was in use, you must reset it
by touching the CLEAR/OFF pad, setting the clock, and
resetting any cooking function.

of 3 hours. See the Using the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
This is temporary.
• This is normal. To maximize cooking evenness, the fan
is designed to operate in both directions, with a pause
in between.
• The convection fan will operate during preheat of
the bake cycle. The fan will turn off after the oven is
heated to the set temperature. This is normal.
Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel
and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper
towel. Do not spray with Pam® or other lubricant sprays.
