Using the Self-Cleaning cycle
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
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.)
. 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.
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.

damage the porcelain finish.
1 Do not use foil or other liners in
the oven. During the Self-Clean-
ing cycle foil can bum or melt

move freely for best cleaning
results.
. Do not leave plastic utensils near
the vent. They may melt.
