The SelfCleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your range, the Self-Cleaning cycle is operated with the easy-to-use electronic controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

How

the

cycle

works

 

 

 

 

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to

 

 

 

 

burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the

 

 

 

 

oven gets much hotter than it does for normal

 

1176-(=)F

 

baking or broiling-approximately 875°F (468%).

This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and

bums it away.

Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-Cleaning

 

 

 

 

cycle, However, the cycle time can be adjusted to

 

 

 

 

the amount of soil in your oven. The cycle can be

 

 

 

 

set anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See

 

 

 

 

‘Setting the controls’on page 28.)
