Tappan Oven Locked

[munruss]

Here's a new one. I have a Tappan oven and I accidentally put it in clean mode and turned it off. Well, the oven is stuck in lock mode and I'm wondering how I can reset it?

If it's anything like my jenn-air, put the temperature dial to "clean" while leaving the bake/convect/broil dial on off, then try to unlock it.

I used to have a Tappan, self cleaning gas range. I seem to remember reading something about that in it's manual. If you don't have one, you could ask for one here. Apparently, Frigidaire purchased Tappan.

wait an hour or 2 and it should come open.

How do those things clean themselves?

It should open correctly after it cools to a certain temp, it's a safety feature. Don't force it (er, like I did ) or you'll mess the lever up.

It's a joke. I've never let an oven "clean itself" in the 25 years I've owned one. We only end up with self cleaning ones, because all the features we want, automatically include that.
