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 the above can result in burns, or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

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

l Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and deter- gent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning. NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.

l Remove the broiler pan and grid and any pots and pans being stored in the oven.

NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan (without grid) in the oven if you have first removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur. The chrome broiler pan and grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

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

l Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See page 28.) If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.)

l 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.

NOTES:

l Do not force the Lock Lever. You could bend or break it. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.

l Do not block the vent during the Self- Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

l Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent. They may melt.

lDo not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

l The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
