Using the Self-Cleaning cycle
(single/upper oven)
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high
heat to burn away soil. Before you start,
make sure you understand exactly how
to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely.
Before you start
Do
not hand clean seal
1.
Clean the areas shown by hand.
They do not get hot enough during
the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and
detergent or a soapy steel wool pad
on..
. The inside of the door. (The
center area of the door does not
need to be hand cleaned.)
1 The frame around the oven.
Do not clean, move or bend the
fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and
poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you may have stored
in the oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan (without
grid) can be cleaned in the oven
only if most of the soil has been
removed by hand-cleaning or a
dishwasher. The chrome broiler
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 Self-Cleaning cycle.
NOTE: Some smoke may appear during
the very first cleaning cycle due to burn-
off of binders in oven insulation.
The smoke eliminator will handle the
normal flow of odors during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. However, minor smoke
may be noticed when soil build-up is
heavy.

NOTE: The bottom element is hinged for
easier cleaning of the cavity floor. The
bottom element must be in the down
position before beginning the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean them by hand.
Otherwise, put oven racks on
second and fourth guides (guides
are counted from bottom to top).
After racks are cleaned in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, they become harder
to slide. See page 12.
Turn on a vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. This will help
remove heat and odors that are
normal during the cycle.
NOTE: The lower oven will not operate
while the upper oven is being cleaned.
