Before you start
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
l
Hand-clean the areas shown.
They do
not get hot enough during the cleaning
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad
for cleaning.
NOTE:
DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
l
Remove the broiler pan and 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 in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur.The
chrome broiler pan and 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 Self-
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 27.) 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.
DO NOT
hand-clean seal

Keep the kitchen well ventilated by open-
ing a window or by turning on a vent hood
or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
NOTES:
l
Do
not force
the Lock Lever. You could
bend or break it. The lever is designed to
stay locked until the oven is cool enough
to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.
l
Do not block
the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
l
Do not leave
any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn
or melt and damage the oven surface.
l
Do not leave
plastic utensils near the
vent. They may melt.
l
The oven light
will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
