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 in 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 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

Seff-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)

Heat and odors
are normal during the Self
