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.

Notice that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
