If the cleaning cycle doesn�t get the upper 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 cleaning time longer the next time and hand clean areas noted on page 18.
bven racks lose their shine, discolor and become harder to slide on their guides when they are left in the upper oven during the cleaning cycle. To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack guides with a soapy steel-wool pad, rinse well, and wipe on a thin coat of salad oil.
How It Works
During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off. The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-cleaning cycle for 3 hours.
