How

the

cycle

works

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat

 

 

 

 

 

 

to burn away soil and grease. During the

 

87I.F

(408%)

 

 

cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for normal baking

or broiling.

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

l Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.
