Self Cleaning Oven Instructions for a Hotpoint Range
- 1). Open the oven door and remove the oven cooking racks. The oven racks pull straight out of the oven. Empty the oven of all utensils, including broiler pans, and remove contents from the top of the oven. Remove any foil and loose debris from the oven.
- 2). Close the oven door and slide the latch handle to the right. Press the "Self Clean" button near the lower center of the control console. If you have a dial knob instead of push pads, turn the temp knob to "Clean."
- 3). Press the "+" or "-" buttons on your console keypad to the desired clean time, depending upon the amount of cleaning necessary, and press "Start." The standard time for oven cleaning is usually four hours. If you have the dial knob, the oven automatically cleans for four hours and 20 minutes. There is no time adjustment if you have the dial knob, and the oven begins the cleaning cycle when you turn it to "Clean."
- 4). Allow the oven to cool completely after the finishing the cleaning process. If you have the dial knob, turn the dial to "Off" and slide the door latch to the left to open the oven door. Electronic keypad models only require moving the latch to the left. Remove any food remains with a damp cloth and place the oven cleaning racks back into the oven.
