HOW IT WORKS
During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does
for baking or broiling...approximately 870' F (466. C). This heat breaks
up grease and soil, and burns it off.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-
cleaning cycle set for two hours.

while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
