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. You can set the cycle anywhere
between 2
