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, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle
with the easy-to-use electronic control. Please review the instructions in this section to keep
your oven spotless.
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 preset for a 3-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 2
and 4 hours. (See "Setting the controls" on
page 31 .)
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,

Before
you start
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not
get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water and deter-
gent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
