Special tips l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. l After the oven is cool, 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. l Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual. l If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand-clean areas noted on page 30. 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%hour Self- Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. DOOLROCKS You can set the cycle anywhere between START 1 3 Time 1,' Hours STOP 2% and 4% hours. (See "Setting the con- trols" on page 31.) The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3%hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops 1/2hour before the 3%hour setting is up to cool the oven enough so the door can be unlocked. 37

Special
tips
l
Keep the kitchen well ventilated
during the
Self-Cleaning
cycle to help get rid of heat,
odors, and smoke.

After the oven is cool, 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.

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%hour
Self-
Cleaning
cycle. However, you can adjust the
cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.
