Remove the broil pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils
and any foil that may be in the oven. Do not try to clean
utensils or any other objects in the oven during a self-
clean cycle. If oven racks are left in the range during a
cleancycle, theywilldarken, lose theirlusterand become
hard to slide. If you choose to leave the racks in the oven,
you can polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack edges
afterthe self-cleancycle. This will make the racks easier
to slide.
Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of the
cooktop (does not apply to built-in ovens), the door liner
outside the door seal and the front edge of the oven
cavity (about
1”
into the oven) will not be cleaned during
a clean cycle (see illustration). Clean these areas by
hand before starting a clean cycle.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well.
Wipe up heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. Too much
soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.

soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated soaking
may be neededdependingon the amount of soil. Frequent
cleaning will help prevent excessive soil build-up. Do not
rub the door seal. The fiberglass material of the seal has
an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and
well fitting oven door seal is essential for energy efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the
seal becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or
if it has become displaced on the door, you should
replace the seal.

AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the
oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel
wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and
water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle may
need to be repeated.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use oven cleaners. Listen for the fan. A fan noise
should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If
not, call a serviceman before self-cleaning again.
