• Remove the broiler pan grid and any
pots and pans being stored in the oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan
(without grid) in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning
or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur.The
chrome broiler pan grid will discolor if
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce srmke during the Self­
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 27.) 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.
^WARNING
Burn Hazard
• Do not touch the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven.
Failure to follow the above could result
in burns or hazardous fumes.
NOTES:
• Do not force
the Lock Lever. You could
bend or break it. The lever is designed to
stay locked until the oven is cool enough to
safely open. Wait until it imves freely.
• Do not block the vent during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
meh and damage the oven surface.
• Do not leave plastic utensils near the
vent. They may melt.
