How it works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than it does for
baking or broiling...approximately
675°F (466°C). This heat breaks up
grease and soil and burns it off.
This graph shows approximate
temperatures and times during a
Self-Cleaning cycle for 3 hours.

for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
