sing the Self-Cleaning
Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-
cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the
Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly,
follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:

Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the Self-Clean-
ing cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot
water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool
pad for cleaning.

NOTES:

DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and
roasting may result.

DO NOT let water, cleaner, etc., enter
slots on door and frame.

DO NOT
hand-clean
gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door
around edge

Remove the broiler pan and grid and
anything else being stored in the oven.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke 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 44.) 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.

NOTES:

Do not block the oven vent during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely
for best cleaning results.

Do not leave any foil in oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.

The oven light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
