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...
l The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need
to be hand cleaned.)
9 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 the oven has a rotisserie, make
sure the motor socket cover is
closed.
5. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean by hand.
Other-
wise, 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 chart on
page 25.
Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle
This will help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle.

produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.

foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
