How The Cycle Works - Whirlpool GMC305PD Use And Care Manual

How 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
Cleaning cycle.
The graph below shows you what happens in a 3
hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the heating stops
1 ⁄ hour before the 3 1 ⁄ -hour setting is up.
