The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the oven interior. Like with the other functions of your range, you operate the Self-Cleaning
cycle 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 broiling. Thiis high heat
breaks up the soil or grease and burns it
away.
You can adjust the cycle time 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 pa.ge 21.)
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.
