Special Tips l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help
get rid of normal heat, odors and smoke.
l Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.
l If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected,
the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have pre-
pared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time
and hand clean areas noted on
page17.
To stop the Sell-Cleanlng cycle
at anytime:
1. Push in and turn the Stop Time
Knob clockwlse until it points to
the righttime of day.
2. Turn the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control to OFF. When
the Oven LOCKED lndlcator Llght
goes off, move the Lock Lever
back fo 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.
This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self-
Cleaning cycle for 3 hours.
