If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get
the oven as clean as you ex-
pected, the cycle may not have
been set long enough or you
may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the cleaning time
longer the next time and hand
clean areas noted on page 12.
Oven racks lose their shine, dis-
color and become harder to slide
on their guides when they are left
in the oven during the cleaning
cycle. To make them slide easier,
polish the edges of the racks and
rack guides with a soapy steel-
wool pad, rinse well, and wipe on
a thin coat of salad oil.
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.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-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.
