Self-Cleaning Cycle Before Starting Self-Clean A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures that are well above those used for normal cooking. The high cleaning temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash that you can later easily wipe away with a damp cloth. Adhere to the following precautions when running the selfclean cycle: • Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. • Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
Self-Cleaning Cycle Self-Clean Time Length * For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
