The Self-Cleaning cy;le saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven
interior. Like with the other functions of your range, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-
to-use controls. Plea: e review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cyc le uses very high heat to
burn away soil and gr ?ase. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotte’ than it does for normal
baking or broiling. Thi 5 high heat breaks up the
soil or grease and but ns it away.
You can adjust the :ycle time to the amount of
soil in your oven. You can set the cycle time
anywhere between 2 md 4 hours. (See ‘Setting
the controls” on page 19.)
The graph at the right is representative of a
normal, 3-hour Self-C eaning cycle. Note that the
heating stops when th s 3-hour setting is up, but it
takes longer for the o\ en to cool enough to
unlock.
