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 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 broilin*approximately 875°F (468°C).
This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and
burns 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, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the
heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it
takes longer for the oven to cool enough to
unlock
Before you start
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
1. Hand-clean the indicated areas. They do not
get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for
soil to burn 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, baking and roasting may resutt.
