Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a mild abra- sive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand-clean areas noted on page 23.

How	the	cycle	works
The Self-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. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.						DOOR UNLOCKS
Your oven is preset for a 3%hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.
You can set the cycle time anywhere							.
between	2V2 and	4% hours.	(See “Setting	START	1	3	STOP
					Thm	I: Hours
the controls” on page 24.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3%hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops V2 hour before the
3%hour	setting	is up.
