USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
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 automatically preset for a 3
1
⁄2-hour
Self-Cleaning cycle.
The graph at the right shows you what happens
in a 3
1
⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Notice that the
heating stops
1
⁄2 hour before the 3
1
⁄2-hour setting
is up.
