;;;s the Self-Cleaning
The Se&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. Handclean the indicated areas.
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 around the
edge. (The window may also
require hand-cleaning.)
l
The frame around the oven.
Do
not
clean, move
or
bend the
fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and
poor bakingroasting 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 if most of
the soil is 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. Remove the oven racks from the
oven if you want them to remain
shiny.
If the oven racks are cleaned
in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them
on the second and fourth
rack
guides. (Guides are counted from
bottom to top.) lf oven racks are
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
they will become harder to slide. (See
page 35.)
Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. If needed, remove
them by opening a window or by turning
on a vent hood or other kitchen vent
during the cycle.
