ware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t

Step 3: With a dampened doth, clean spatters or
spills on oven front frame (A) and only that area on

Oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning

become hard to slide. To make shelves siide more
easily, after each self-cleaning cycle, dampen fingers
with a smal! amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over
edges of shelf that contact shelf supports.
if your range is equipped with porcelain enamel drip
pans, you can dean them in the self-cleaning oven.
After wiping off any boilovers that are not stuck on,
place one pan upside down on each oven shelf.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protec­
tors in or near the self-cieaning oven. A combination
of any of these products plus the high clean cycle
temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the
oven.
Important: The oven door must be closed and
latched and all controls must be set correctly for the
self-cleaning cycle to work properly.
