Whirlpool RF385PXG - How the Cycle Works

To stop the self-cleaning cycle at
any time:
If the oven temperature is above normal broiling
temperatures, the Self-Cleaning cycle will start a
30-minute cool down. The clean and door locked
indicator lights will stay on.

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.
