The SelfCleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven
interior. Like the other functions of your range, the Self-Cleaning cycle is operated with the easy-to-use
wntrols. Please review the instructions in this se&on to keep your oven spotless.
How the cycle works
The SelfCleaning cycle uses very high heat to
bum away soil and grease. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than it does for normal - t-1
baking or broiling-approximately 875°F (488%).
This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and avaCSlWTOR
mm
burns it away.
The cyde time can be adjusted to the amount
of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle time
anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See ‘Setting
the controls” on page 20.)
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.

or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.
