Be sure both support rods are fully
extended and in the locked
position. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury from the
cooktop accidentally falling.
l
Do not drop the cooktop. Damage
can result to the porcelain and the
cooktop frame.
2. Wipe with warm soapy water. Use a
soapy steel wool pad on heavily-soiled
areas.

both sides while pressing the support
rods back to unlock them. Lower the

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
Hand clean frame

seal
Hand clean door around edge
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...
9 The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need to be
hand cleaned.)
l
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 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 “Cleaning chart” on 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.

damage the oven surface.
