Cleaning the broil pan and insert
Do not attempt to clean the broil pan or insert by •
leaving it in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
After broiling, remove the broil pan from the oven. •
Remove the insert from the pan. Carefully pour out the
grease from the pan into a proper container.
Wash and rinse the broil pan and grid in hot water •
with a soap-filled scouring pad.
Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.•
Both the broil pan and insert may be cleaned with a •
commercial oven cleaner and are dishwasher-safe.
Do not store a soiled broil pan and insert •
anywhere in the range.
Oven racks
If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and •
the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the
sides of the racks with wax paper or a clothing containing a small amount of cooking oil. This
will help the racks glide more easily into their tracks.
