HOW THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE WORKS TEMPERATURE The Self-Clean cycle uses high heat to burn away soil and grease from inside the oven. During this cycle, the oven will get much hotter than it does under normal baking and broiling conditions (see the following chart). 875˚F (468˚C) CLEANING CYCLE OVEN SHUTS OFF (NORMAL BROILING TEMPERATURE) DOOR UNLOCKS (FAN STAYS ON) The oven is preset for a 3-1/2 hour Self-Clean cycle. However, you can adjust this cycle time to between 2-1/2 and 4-1/2 hours. The chart shows a normal 3-1/2 hour Self-Clean cycle. Note that although the heating turns off after 3hours, the door will remain locked for an additional 1/2 hour so the oven can cool sufficiently. If the latch switch is not satisfied during the clean operation, the cycle is terminated, and the display will show "close door" on convection models. On non-convection models, "door" will be displayed (see the strip circuit below).

The Self-Clean cycle uses high heat to burn
away soil and grease from inside the oven.
During this cycle, the oven will get much hotter
than it does under normal baking and broiling
conditions (see the following chart).
The oven is preset for a 3-
1
/
2
hour Self-Clean
cycle. However, you can adjust this cycle time
to between 2-
1
/
2
and 4-
1
/
2
hours. The chart
shows a normal 3-
1
/
2
hour Self-Clean cycle.
Note that although the heating turns off after 3-
hours, the door will remain locked for an addi-
tional
1
/
2
hour so the oven can cool sufficiently.
If the latch switch is not satisfied during the
clean operation, the cycle is terminated, and
the display will show “close door” on convec-
tion models. On non-convection models, “door”
will be displayed (see the strip circuit below).
