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 bake element
is on all the time (see Figure 3-7). If the door
latch switch is not activated during the clean
operation, the cycle is terminated and the dis-
play will show "close door."
