The Self-Cleaning
cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the oven
interior. Like the other functions of your range, the Self-Cleaning
cycle is operated with the easy-to-use
electronic controls. 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-approximately
875'F (468°C).
This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and
burns it away.

OVEN SWUl OFF
Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-Cleaning
cycle. However, the cycle time can be adjusted to
the amount of soil in your oven. The cycle can be
set anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See
'Setting the controls" on page 23.)

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.

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.
