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 oven, 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 oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broilin*approximately 675’F (466%). 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 “Settingthe controls” on page 29.)
The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning 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 SeCCleaning 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. | Hand-clemn |
Poor cleaning, baking and roasting may result. | |
