HOW THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE WORKS

The Self-Clean cycle uses high heat to burn
away soil and grease from inside the oven.
During this cycle, the oven will get much hot-
ter than it does under normal baking and broil-
ing conditions (see the following chart).

The oven is preset for a 3-1/2 hour Self-Clean
cycle. However, you can adjust this cycle time
to between 2-1/2 and 4-1/2 hours. The chart
shows a normal 3-1/2 hour Self-Clean cycle.
Note that although the heating turns off after
3 hours, the door will remain locked for an ad-
ditional 1/2 hour so the oven can cool suffi-
ciently.
During the Self-Clean cycle, the broil burner is
on for the first 30 minutes. The rest of the Self-
Clean cycle is completed using the bake burner
only. If the door latch switch is not activated
during the clean operation, the cycle is termi-
nated, and the display will show "close door."
