Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the oven interior. Like the other functions of your range, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle
with easy-to-use controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven
spotless.
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow the above can result in burns, or illness from
inhaling dangerous fumes.
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 dis-
color 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
harderto slide. (See page 29.) If you clean
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them onthe 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.
