USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
• Remove any pots and pans being stored
in the oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan and
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.
• 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.

Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)
