How The Cycle Works - Whirlpool RBS277PD Use And Care Manual

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
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 1 ⁄ and 4 1 ⁄ hours. (See "Setting the con-
2 2
trols" on page 37.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3 1 ⁄ -hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
2
that the heating stops after 3 hours to cool
the oven enough so the door can be
unlocked.
