The Self-Cleaning cycle 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. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to
burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the
oven gets much hotter than ft does for normal
baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the
soil or grease and burns it away.
You can adjust the cycle time to the amount of
soil in your oven. You can set the cycle time
anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See “Setting
the controls” on page 19.)
