• Oven racks should be removed. If they are not removed
during the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly
blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack position).
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use
hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can
cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills
remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
Starting the Select Self-Clean Cycle
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for
light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle
for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well
ventilated usingan open window, ventitlation fan or exhaust
hood during the 1 st Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate
the normal odors associated with the 1st Self-Clean cycle.
