The Self-Cleaning 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 Setf-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to

 

 

 

burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the

B76-F(460-c)

 

oven gets much hotter than it does for normal

 

 

baking

or broiling-approximately

875’F (468°C).

This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and

 

 

 

 

burns 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

Before you stat-t

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

1.Hand-clean the indicated areas. 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.
