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
electronic controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

How the cycle works
The SetMeaning cycle uses very high heat to
bum away soil and grease. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than ll does for normal
baking or broiling-approximately 875’F (468%).
This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and
bums it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-Cleaning
cycle. However, the cycle time can be adjusted to
the amount of soil in your oven. The cycle can be
set anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See
Setting the controls” on page 29.)
The graph at the right is representative of a
normal, &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 result.
