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 wntrols. Please review the instructions in this se&on to keep your oven spotless.

How	the	cycle		works
The SelfCleaning cycle uses very high heat to
bum away soil and grease. During the cycle, the							-	t-1
oven gets much hotter than			it does for normal
baking or broiling-approximately 875°F (488%).								avaCSlWTOR
This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and						mm
burns it away.
The cyde time can be adjusted to the amount
of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle time
anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See ‘Setting
the controls” on page 20.)
The graph at the right is representative of a					START	1	(thACU8,		5
normal, 3-hour SelfCleaning			cycle. Note that the

heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock.
