For best cleaning results
• After the oven cools to room tempera-
ture, wipe up any residue or ash with a
damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain,
clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or
cleaning sponge.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke
than usual.
• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand-clean areas
noted in "Before you start" earlier in this
section.
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to bum 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 preset for a 31/2-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.
You can set the cycle anywhere between
2V2 and 4V2 hours. (See "Setting the con-
trols" earlier in this section.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 31/2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough to
unlock.
