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

1. Clean the shaded areas 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...

l The inside of the door.

l The frame around the oven.

DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal. DO NOT move if or bend if. Poor cleaning and poor baking will result.

2.Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have stored in the oven. They can’t stand the heat.

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

If the oven has a rotisserie, make sure the motor socket cover is closed.

if you want fhe oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean by hand. Cther- wise, 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 chart on page

19. Chrome reflector bowls must not be cleaned in the oven. They will discolor.
