USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
Self-cleaning tips
•
Keep
the kitchen well ventilated during
the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of
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.
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 automatically preset for a 4

Self-Cleaning cycle.
