• Remove any pots and pans being stored in the
oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan and grid in
the oven if you have first removed most of the
soil by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. If most of
the soil is not removed, too much smoking will
occur.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will
help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if you
want them to remain shiny. You can clean the
oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they
will become harder to slide. (See page 30.) If
you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
• Heat and odors are normal during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
NOTE: This oven is equipped with an internal
cooling fan. You will hear a fan sound during a
normal Self-Cleaning cycle. This fan comes on
automatically to keep the electronic control cool.
Canceling the oven will not turn off this fan. It will
continue running until the electronic control has
sufficiently cooled. The fan will then automatically
turn off.
^WARNING
Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
' Do not touch the oven during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.
' Do not use commercial oven cleaners in
your oven. Cleaners may produce hazard­
ous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.
NOTE: Do not block the vent during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best
cleaning results.
Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent.
They may melt.
