The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven
interior. Like the other functions of your range, the Self-Cleaning cycle is operated with the easy-to-use
controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.
How the cycle works
The SelfCleaning cycle uses very high heat to
bum away soil and grease. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than it does for normal
baling or broiling-approximately 875’F (468%).
This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and
bums it away.
The cycle time can be adjusted to the amount
of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle time
anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting
the controls’ on page 19.)
The graph at the right is representative of a

normal, 3hour SelfCleaning cycle. Note that the
heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough to

Before you start
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
1. Handclean the indicated areas. They do not
get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for
soil to bum away. Use hot water and detergent
or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move or bend the seal.
Poor cleaning, baling and roasting may result.
