Caring For Your Range

Continued

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

Push in and turn the Stop Time Knob clockwise until it points to the time indicated on the clock.

Turn the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF. When the oven temperature drops below 500°F (260X), move the Lock Lever to the COOK position. 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 2 112 hours.
