Do not hand clean seal
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...
1 The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need to
be hand cleaned.)
. 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 and grid can
be cleaned in the oven only if most
of the soil has been removed by
hand-cleaning or a dishwasher.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease.
This will help reduce smoke during
the Self-Cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean them by hand.
Otherwise, 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 page 10.
Turn on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
This will help remove heat and
odors that are normal during the
cycle.
