USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

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.

Your oven is preset for a 31⁄2-hour Self- Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle anywhere between 21⁄2 and 41⁄2 hours. (See “Setting the controls.”)

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 31⁄2 -hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops 1⁄2 hour before the 31⁄2-hour setting is up to cool the oven enough so the door can be unlocked.
