SPECIAL TIPS
1.
Keep the kitchen well
ventilated during the
cleaning cycle to help
get rid of normal heat
odors and smoke.
2. Clean the oven before
it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled
oven to kes longer and
results in more smoke
than usual.
3. If the cleaning Cycle
doesn’t get the oven as
clean as you
expected, the cycle
may not hove been set
long enough. Set the
cleaning time longer
for heavier soil.
4.
Oven rocks lose their shine, discolor
and become horder to slide on their
guides when they ore left in the oven
during the cleaning cycle. To make
them slide easier, polish the edges of
the rocks and rock guides with a soapy
steel-wool pod, rinse well, and wipe
on a thin coot of salad oil.
5. To stop the cleaning cycle after It has
started :
l
Turn the Stop Trme Knob clockwise
until the hand points to the right time
of day.
l
Turn the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control to OFF.
l
When the Lock Light turns off, move the
Lock Lever bock 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.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-
cleaning cycle set for
two hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the two-hour setting is up, but that it takes a
while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
