SPECIAL TIPS

1.Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the cleaning cycle to help get rid of normal heat odors and smoke.

4.Oven racks lose their shine, discolor and become harder to slide on their guides when they are left in the oven during the cleaning cycle. To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack guides with a soapy steel-wool pad, rinse well, and wipe on a thin coat of salad oil.

5.To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started:

l Turn the Stop flrne Knob clockwise until the hand points to the right time of day.

l Turn the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

l When the Lock Light turns off, move the Lock Lever back to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT.Wait until it moves easily.

HOW IT WORKS

During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for

baking or broiling...approximately 875 F (468” C]. This heat breaks up grease and soil, and burns it off.

The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-cleaning cycle set for two hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the two-hour setting	IS up, but that it takes a
while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.	19
