The Self-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 oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning 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 Setf-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.
z
Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-Cleaning
cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to
[
the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the
c
cycle anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See
"Setting the controls" on page 26.)
The graph at the right is representative of a
normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the
heating stops when the 3hour setting 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-clean the areas shown. They do not get
hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a
soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move or bend the seal.
Poor cleaning, baking and roasting may result.
