l Remove the broiler pan grid and any
pots and pans being stored in the oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan
(without grid) in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning
or a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur.The
chrome broiler pan grid will discolor if
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.
l Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the cleaning
cycle.
l Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See page 32.) If you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)
l Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
Setting the controls
1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct
time of day. (See “Setting the clock” on

Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
l Do not touch the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.
l Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven. Cleaners could produce
hazardous fumes or damage the
porcelain finish.
l Do not leave foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.

cleaning results.
