Using the SELECT CLEAN™
^WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
NOTES;
• 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.
• DO NOT dean, move, or bend the gasket. You
may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
• The oven light will not work during the Self­
Cleaning cycle.
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get
hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent
or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
e Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on
door and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and any
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
• Wipe up food spills containing sugar and/or milk
as soon as possible after the oven cools down.
When sugar is heated to a high temperature in
the Self-Cleaning cycle, the high temperature
can cause the sugar to burn and react with the
porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or
pitting.
• 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 the “Cleaning chart”
in the “Caring for Your Range" section, p. 32.) If
you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The
guides are counted from bottom to top.)

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in
death to certain birds. Always move birds to another
closed and well ventilated room.
TIPS:
• Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must move freely for best 'cleaning results,
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They
may melt.
• Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
