USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

NOTES:

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

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

Do not leave plastic utensils on the cook- top. They may melt.

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

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

Before setting the controls

Make sure clock is set to correct time of day. (See the “Setting the clock” section.)

Make sure the oven door is completely closed.
