The SelfCleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like with the other functions of your oven, you operate the SeffUeaning cycle with the easy-to- use electronic control. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

How the cycle works

The SeWleaning cycle uses very high heat to bum 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.

Your oven is preset for a 3hour Seff-Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See “Setting the controls” on page 26.)

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3hour SelfGleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour se.tting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

l Hand-cleanthe areas &own. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to bum away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.
