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 - approximately
875°F (468°C). This high heat breaks up the
soil or grease and burns it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3’/2 hour self-cleaning
cycle. However, the cycle time can be adjusted
to the amount of soil in your oven.
The graph above is representative of a 3-hour
self-cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops
when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes
longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock
the oven door.

Before you start the self-cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
l
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not
get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away, and could get baked on
during cleaning. Use hot water and
detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for
cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move or bend the
gasket. Poor cleaning, baking and roasting
may result.
l
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will
help reduce smoke during the cleaning
cycle.
l
Remove any combustible items (such as
paper napkins) from the storage drawer. This
includes utensils with plastic handles that
can become overheated and melt.
