How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On Canadian models, the rear surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
