Care and Cleaning - Oven
Preparing the Oven for Self Clean WARNING
A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub,
damage or move the gasket.
1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark fin-
ish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.
3. Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels. Excess grease will
cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.
4. Review illustration below. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand
before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a deter-
gent-filled S.O.S.® pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame
and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not
clean or rub the gasket on the oven. The gasket is designed to hold in heat
during the self-clean cycle. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.
5. Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in
place. Do not operate oven without lightbulb and cover in place.
Important: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on the self-clean oven or any
part because they will damage the finish or part.
Surface scratches - Small scratches are to
be expected on the glass surface, but do not
affect cooking. In time, small scratches will
become smoother and much less noticeable
with daily use of the Cooktop Cleaning Creme.
• Apply Cleaning Creme before using to remove sand-like grains
and grit such as salt and seasoning.
• Can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean,
and dry before use. Use recommended Cooktop Cleaning Creme
daily on the cooktop.
