Using the Self-Cleaning cycle The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely. Before you start 1.

(2 hours for light soil: 3 hours or more for heavier soil.) 2. Turn the Set Time Knob until the Start and Stop Time Dials show the right time of day.

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.
