top element heats, but does
not turn red. (Baking, pg. 6 1.

Terminal
3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible
with the terminal just started into the
4. While pushing the surface unit terminal into
the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of
the unit nearest the receptacle.
5. When the terminal is pushed into the re-
ceptacle as far as it will go, the surface unit
will fit into the reflector bowl.
Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
utensils on the surface units. They also help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some
of the utensils used may not be flat enough.
Or some may be too large for the surface
unit. In either case, some of the heat that is
meant to go into or around a utensil goes
down and heats the reflector bowl. This ex-
tra heat can discolor it.
USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The self-cleaning cycle uses very hlgh heat to burn away soil. Before
you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle
safely.
BEFORE YOU START 1.
Clean areas that may not be cleaned
during the cycle. Use hot water and deter-
gent or a soapy steel-wool pad on...
l the frame around the oven

outside the oven seal.
DO NOT try to clean the tlberglass seal. DO
NOT move It or bend It.
Remove any pots or pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can’t stand the
soil or grease. This will

HOW IT WORKS
During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does
for baking or broiling...approximately 870’ F (466. C). This heat breaks
up grease and soil, and burns it off.
The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-
cleaning cycle set for two hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the two-hour setting is up, but that it takes a
while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
