Managemylife com I want to use the self-clean function on my Kenmore Model 790. The manual says (p.17): "Once the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed and the Door Locked Indicator light has turned OFF you MUST unlock the cooktop before the gas surface burners will operate." However, there is no information about how to unlock the cooktop on this model. On Range Features (p. 6), there is an indication that there is a display for a Cooktop Lockout on "some models." It is not on our model. How then do I unlock the cooktop after the self-clean cycle is complete? Does it unlock automatically?? Directions are VERY unclear. Thank you for your help.

You will need a service call. The self clean cycle is a great way to make parts fail and to keep service techs in work.

Many Kenmore manuals are available from the Manage My Life site: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals?intcmpMMHxG_HomexServices_Menu .

You will need the model number - there are over 9,000 ovens that come up when you search Kenmore Ultra bake self-cleaning super capacity oven. Most of the Kenmore ovens have the model and serial numbers on the front frame. (Left front of the frame on the lower oven on a dual oven model - just open the door and the panel should be visible.)

I hope this helps.

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaningoption. Thanks for the info!!

If the model number you listed this question under is correct, the Clean cycle time NORMALLY takes about 4 hours and 20 minutes. You can adjust the cleaning cycle time between 3 hours and 5 hours and 59 minutes, using the HOUR and MIN pads. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, and the oven temperature cools to a safe temperature, the latch can be opened.

These instructions are listed on page 24 of the owner's manual. If you no longer have an owner's manual, you can obtain a FREE copy at managemylife.com. For your convenience, here's a direct link:

I have lost my owners manual for my Kenmore elctric double oven model 79041399403. I want to know how to use the clean function

kenmore he2 front loader mod #46472501 wont go in the spin cycle

Self clean mode can vary between makes and models of kitchen ranges, but it usually averages 2 to 4 hours. Once the self clean mode has been started it cannot be stopped until it completes the cycle and cools down. The oven door will lock and will not unlock until the internal oven temperature cools as the oven will super heat to about 700 or 800 degrees. Some manufacturers will enable the consumer to vary the self clean cycle time. Refer to your owner's manual under the Operating Instructions for specifics.

If you no longer have an owner's manual, you may be able to obtain one on line at managemylife.com. Just type in your model number under the "Manuals" link and see if it is listed. They have an extensive list of owner's and installation manuals available in a .pdf (Adobe) format that you can download or print for FREE.

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

I suspect the timer is involved in this process. It can be set to clean automatically. You need to set the complete time at least 2 hours after start.

hold down the stop/clear button for 3+ seconds
