Whirlpool BGS470W Microwave Oven User Manual


 
How it
works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it does for baking,
roasting or broiling . . . approximately
875°F (46S°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 three hours.

the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
