2. Remove the broiler pan grid and any pots and
pans being stored in the oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be
cleaned in the oven if most of the soil is
removed first by hand-cleaning or a dish-
washer. ff most of the soil is not removed,
excessive smoking will occur. The chrome
broiler pan grid will discolor if cleaned in the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will
help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle.
4. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you
want them to remain shiny. lf the oven racks
are cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
NOTE: If oven racks are cleaned in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, they will become harder to
slide.
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. lf needed, remove them by
opening a window or by turning on a vent hood
or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
