USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
S
ETTING THE CONTROLS
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at any time:
Turn the oven control knob to OFF.
H
OW 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 automatically preset for a 3
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens
in a 3 1 ⁄ -hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the
2
heating stops 1 ⁄ hour before the 3
2
is up.
