Before a Clean Cycle
The range must be completely cool in order to set the
self-clean cycle.
We recommend venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top,
sides and outside of the oven door with soap and water.
The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, to help prevent heavy
smoke caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan,
you must first clean off the excess grease.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
