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 and 4

⁄2 hours. (See “Setting the con-

trols” on page 37.)

The graph at the right is representative of

a normal, 3

⁄2-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note

that the heating stops after 3 hours to cool

the oven enough so the door can be

unlocked.
