the frame around the over
l
the inside of the door, especially
the part outside the oven seal
DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal.
DO NOT move it or bend it. Poor
cleaning and poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots or pans you may have stored
in the oven. They can’t stand the
high heat.
3.
Wipe out any loose soil or grease.

ing the cleaning cycle.
4. If your oven has a rotisserie, make
sure the motor socket cover is
closed.
