PREPARING
YOUR OVEN FOR
A SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
Remove the broiler pan and grid,
oven racks, utensils and any foil that
may be in the oven.
Soil on the front frame, 1" inside the
oven, and outside the door gasket
will need to be cleaned by hand.
Front Frame
CARE AND CLEANme
OVEN DOOR GASKET
Clean these areas with hot water,
soap-filled steel wool pads or cleansers
such as Soft Scrub® to remove any soil.
Rinse well with clean water and dry,
3. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the
oven bottom.
4. Do not clean the door gasket. The
fiberglass material of the oven door
gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It
is essential for the gasket to remain
intact. If you notice it becoming
worn, frayed, or displaced on the
door, it should be replaced.
The door gasket is designed to have a
5-6" gap at the bottom of the door. This
allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
Door Liner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the oven. This is due to the
gasket. The location of the gasket on
the oven door maintains a good seal
and prevents any heat loss.
Utensils should
never be left in the
oven during a clean
cycle.
The oven racks may be
cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, but will lose their
luster and become hard to
slide. If you choose to leave
them in during the cycle,
wiping them with vegetable
oil after the cycle will help
them slide easier.
For the first clean cycle, vent
the room with an opened
window or hood vent. This
will reduce the odor when
heating new parts.
