How it works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off.

This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self-Cleaning cycle for 3 hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the three-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.

Using the Continuous-Cleaning left oven

Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain. Your Continuous-Cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher porcelain. A fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher surface. The bead of fat on the smooth surface chars and turns black. The spread-out fat on the rough surface gradually burns away at medium to high baking temperatures so the oven can return to a pre- sentably clean condition.
