The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with handcleaning 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 Seff-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-approximately 875’F (468%). This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and bums 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 “Setting the controls” on page 23.)
The graph at the right is representative of a 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.

Before you start
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 resutt.
