The Seff-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven
interior. Like with the other functions of your range, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-
to-use controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning 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 bums it away.
We recommend a 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.
However, you can adjust the cycle time to the h
amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle
anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See “Setting I
the controls” on page
20.)
The graph at the right is representative of a
normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the
heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough to
unlock
