Special tips
l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,
odors, and smoke.
l After the oven is cool, wipe up any
residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge.
If any spots remain, clean with a mild abra-
sive cleanser or cleaning sponge.
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 does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand-clean areas
noted on page 23.
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. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
875-F (468-C)
Your oven is preset for a 3lh-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle.’ However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your
oven. You can set the cycle time anywhere
between 2’/2 and 4’/2 hours. (See ‘Setting
the controls” on page 24.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3l/2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle.
Note that the heating stops
