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
1
⁄2-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
1
⁄2-4
1
⁄2 hours. (See
“Setting the controls” earlier in this section.)
The graph at the right is representative of a normal,

⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating
stops after 3 hours, but it takes longer for the oven
to cool enough to unlock.
