RANGE CARE

Self-CleaningCycle

(onsomemodels)

WARNING

Burn Hazard

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

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

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

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.

■Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.

■Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

Prepare Cooktop:

■Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
