Special Tips
l
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help
get rid of heat, odors and smoke.
l
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.
l
If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected,
the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have pre-
pared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time
and hand clean areas noted on page 18.
TO stop the Self-Cleanlng cycle at anytime:
1. Push in and turn the Stop Time
2. Turn the Oven Selector and Oven
Knob clockwise until it points to
the right time of day.
Temperature Control to OFF. When
the oven temperature drops
below approximately 520°F
(271”C), move the Lock Lever back
to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT. Wait
until it moves easily.
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.

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.
