The Self-Clean Cycle
BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE
1. 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 • clean cycle, they will darken,
lose their luster and become herd 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 after the self-clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, 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 below). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a clean cycle.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well.
FRONTFRAME
3. Wipe up heavy splllovers on the oven bottom. Too
much soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
4. Clean the door seal by using a clean sponge to soak
the soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated
soaking may be needed depending on the amount of
soil. Frequent cleaning will help prevent excessive
soil buildup. Do not rub the door seal. The fiberglass
matedal 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 inthe
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 be repeated.
NOTE: Your oven light should be OFF during a self-
clean cycle to prolong the life of the bulb.
This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and
"OFF" by Itself to keep the electronics cool.
Sometimes It will run after the range has been
turned off.
