Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start,
make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely.
Before You Start
1. Clean the shaded areas by
hand. They do not get hot enough
during the Self-Clean cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel
wool pad on...
• the frame around the oven.
• the inside of the door, especially
the part outside the oven seal.
DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal.
DO NOT move it or bend it. Poor
cleaning and poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can’t
stand the heat.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or
grease. This will help reduce
smoke during the cleaning cycle.
If you want the oven racks to re­
main shiny, remove from the
oven and clean them by hand.
Otherwise, put oven racks on sec­
ond and fourth guides (guides
are counted from bottom to top).
During the Self-Cleaning Cycle
they become harder to slide. See
tips on page 19.
DO Clean Frame
DO Clean Door
DO NOT
Clean Seal
Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cleaning cycle.
This will help remove smoke, odor and heat that are normal during the cycle.
SPECIAL CAUTIONS:
DO NOT use commercial oven
cleaners in your oven. Damage to
the porcelain finish may occur.
DO NOT use foil or other liners in the
oven. During the cleaning cycle foil
can burn or melt and damage the
oven surface.
WARNING: DO NOT block
B ^ the vent during the clean-
^
'
ing cycle. Air must move
freely for best cleaning results.
DO NOT TOUCH THE OVEN DURING
THE CLEANING CYCLE. IT COULD
BURN YOU.
