Self-Clean Oven

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking and flare-ups during the clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted slightly (1 to 1_/2inches).

Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid re-

sistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

The self--clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven interior.

It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning,

Before Self-Cleaning

Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn out during the clean cycle,

Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle.

Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside the door gasket) and around the open-

ing in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaning agent

such as Bon Ami or deter- gent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be

cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.
