Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a mild abra- sive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand-clean areas noted on page 22.

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 baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

You can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle time anywhere between two and four hours. (See “Setting the controls” on page 23.)

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3l/z-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops l/z hour before the 3lh-hour setting is up.
