SPECIAL TIPS
Keep the kitchen well
ventilated during the
cieaning cycle to help
gel rid of normal heat
odors and smoke.
Clean the oven before
it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled
oven takes longer and
results in more smoke
than usual.
If the cleaning cycle
doesn t get the oven as
clean as you
expected, the cycle
may not have been set
long enough. Set the
cleaning time longer
tor heavier soil.
4. Oven racks lose their shine, discolor
and become harder to slide on their
guides when they are left in the oven
during the cleaning cycle. To make
them slide easier, polish the edges of
the racks and rack guides with a soapy
steel-wool pad, rinse well, and wipe
on a thin coat of salad oil. 5. To stop the cleaning cycle after it has
started:
• Turn the Stop Time Knob clockwise
until the hand points to the right time
of day.
• Turn the Oven Selector and Oven
. Temperature Control to OFF,
• When the oven cools, you can
open the door. Wait until the oven is cool.
HOW IT WORKS
During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for baking or broiling...approximately 630 F(433 C). This heat
breaks up grease and soil, and burns it off.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self­
cleaning cycle set for two hours.

Notice that the healing stops when the two-hour setting is up, but that it takes a
while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
