If there is an up and down arrow on the control panel, you need to press the clean button first and then choose clean time with the up and down arrow. Be sure to remove the racks, if left in the oven they will be blackened by the extreme heat. Clean them separately with oven cleaner. Place them on newspaper and spray them.

Simply press the "Clean" button and set a time (Hi or 4hrs is best) it will the lock the door and burn everything inside. If you have silver colored shelfs remove them fist. After its done and has cooled wipe out the ash that has collected in the bottom of the oven.

Press the self-clean button.  The panel becomes blank(---), then press the up arrow( ^ ).  The panel will appear 3:00 (indication for the duration of self-cleaning). The oven will lock on its own and start the self-cleaning.  Good luck, ya'll!
