Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly, follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

Hand-clean frame

Hand-clean door around edge

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Clean- ing cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel- wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.

Remove the broiler pan and grid and anything else being stored in the oven.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self- Cleaning cycle.

Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will discolor and become harder to slide. If you clean racks in the Self- Cleaning cycle, place them on the rack guides.

Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
