NOTE: If a function is requested while the
door is locked, the timer will display "Too
Hot". Wait until your door has unlocked to
use your oven.
To stop the Self-Cleaning
cycle at any time:
For best cleaning results
• After the oven cools to room tempera-
ture, 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.
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
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

and 4
1

hours. (See "Setting the con-

trols" earlier in this section.)
The graph at the right is representative of
a normal, 3

-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note
2
that the heating stops after 3 hours, but
it takes longer for the oven to cool enough
to unlock the door.
