For best cleaning results
• After the oven is cool, wipe up any resi-
due 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.
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 1 ⁄
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
1 ⁄
2
and 4 1 ⁄
2
hours. (See “Setting the controls” on
page 48.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3 1 ⁄
2
-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but
it takes longer for the oven to cool enough
to unlock.
• 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 47.
