For best cleaning results
• After the oven is cool, wipe up any
residue or ash with a damp cloth or
sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a
mild abrasive cleanser or mildly abrasive
pad.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes
longer and results in more smoke than
usual.
• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand-clean areas
noted on page 43.

Time In Hours
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 3-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 2
and 4 hours. (See =Setting the controls" on
page 44.)
The graph at the left 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.
