Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower than the recommended temperature.
SELF-CLEANING What to Expect during Cleaning A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. While the oven isin operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self=Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self=clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to coo! down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self=dean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
