How It Works
During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking
or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and
burns it off.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-cleaning
cycle for 3 hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer
for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
