Operating surface burners during a self-clean cycle

Your range is equipped with a safety feature to prevent it from overheating during a self-clean cycle. A special temperature sensor shuts off the self- clean cycle if the range becomes too hot. Depending on the range and the length of cooking time on the surface burners, the sensor may or may not shut off the self-clean cycle. To prevent any self-clean cycle disruption, it is best not to use the range surface burners during a self-clean cycle.
