Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window or using
a ventilano n fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
1.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, ail coolcware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE;
Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle.
2,
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
If you
use soap, rinse thorougMy before self-cleaning to
prevent staining.
3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and the
oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth.
The oven front frame and the oven door outside the
gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On
these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-
filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and
water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue
from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these
areas with a dry doth. Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean
the top, sides and outside front of the oven door
with soap and water.
Make
Stli'-C
tHc oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not mb
the door gasket
—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion. An intact, well-fitting oven door gasket is
essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good
baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have k replaced.
4.
Close the oven door and make sure the oven light
is off.
If the oven light is not turned off, the life of
the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately. The door latches automatically after
the clean cycle is set.
CAUnONi The grates and drip pans (on some
models) should never be cleaned in the self-
deaning oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven,
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
