What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than
those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are
normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear
through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause
alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven

3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*lt is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for
average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
