pans being stored in the oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be
cleaned in the oven if most of the soil is
removed first by hand-cleaning or a dish­
washer. If most of the soil is not removed,
excessive smoking will occur. The chrome
broiler pan grid will discolor if cleaned in the
Self-Cleaning cycle.

help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle.

Heat and odors are normal during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. If needed, remove them by
