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.
This 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.
