USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

Special tips

• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the

Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,

odors, and smoke.

• After the oven is cool, wipe up any

residue or ash with a damp cloth or

sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a

mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.

• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.

Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer

and results in more smoke than usual.

• If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get

the oven as clean as you expected, the

cycle may not have been set long enough

or you may not have prepared the oven

properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle

longer the next time and hand-clean areas

noted on page 30.

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'/2-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

2'/2 and 4'/2 hours. (See “Setting the con

trols” on page 31.)

The graph at the right is representative of

a normal, 3'/2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note

that the heating stops '/2 hour before the

3V2-hour setting is up to cool the oven

enough so the door can be unlocked.
