How the Self Cleaning Process Works
Whenthe ovencontrols are settoCLEAN, theovenheatsto temperatures that are higher
than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and
substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to consume
normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening on the top of the
controlpanel.
NOTE WW2780 OWNERS: Both ovens cannot be self-cleaned at the same time.
