Caring For Your Oven

How it works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets
much hotter than it does for baking, roasting 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 three
hours.

to cool down enough to unlock.
