Usirig 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 cycle safely.
Before You Start
1. Clean the shaded areas by
hand. They do not get hot enough
during the Self-Clean cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel-
wool pad on...
l
the frame around the oven.
l
the inside of the door, especially
the part outside the oven seal.
l
the first 2-3 inches of oven near
the door.
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. This will help reduce
smoke and possible flare-ups
during the cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remaln shiny, remove them from
the oven and clean them by
hand. Otherwise, put oven racks
on the second and fourth guides
(guides are counted from bottom
to top). After racks are cleaned in
the Self-Cleaning cycle they be-
come harder to slide. See tips on
page 20.
