The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven
interior. Like the other functions of your range, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use
electronic control. 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 it does for normal
baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the
soil or grease and burns it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-Cleaning

cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to
the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the
cycle anywhere between two and four hours.
