cleaning cycle
Appliance's wash sequence
A cleaning cycle is a programmed sequence of operations that a machine runs to clean itself or its contents.
Dishwashers, washing machines, and ovens have cleaning cycles.
The term extends to any automated or scheduled cleaning routine: The espresso machine runs a cleaning cycle after every fifty shots.
Self-cleaning ovens lock during the cycle due to extreme heat.
