Using the Self-Cleaning oven cycle

The Self-Cleaning Oven uses high heat that actually burns away oven soil. For best results and safety, read this section carefully. Make sure you understand how everything works before you set your oven to “CLEAN.”

Things to do before you start:

lSome areas may not be cleaned during the Self-Cleaning cycle: --The frame around the oven opening

-The door. especially the part around the outside of the oven seal. Soil on these areas WIII be more difficult to remove after the Self- Cleaning cycle Use hot water and detergent.. or a soapy steel-wool pad Rinse well

l Do not move or bend the fiberglass oven door seal. Do not try to clean it by hand.

lThe high heat during the cleaning cycle will discolor the racks and take the shine off them if they are left in the oven during the Self- Cleaning cycle If you want your oven racks to stay shiny and bright. take them out before starting the cleaning cycle. If you do clean the racks during thczcleaning cycle. read the “SpecialTips” at the end of

this section.

lDon‘t leave any pots or pans in the oven during cleaning They won‘t

be able to stand the high heat

lWipe up spillovers. boilovers and grease that hasn’t baked onto the

bottom of the oven This WIIIhelp reduce smoking during the cleaning cycle.

lThe porcelain reflector bowls may be cleaned in the oven. Put the oven racks on the second and top rack guides. Wipe the reflector bowls and put two reflector bowls upside down on each rack. For best

results. they should not touch each other or the oven walls. Chrome

trim rings must not be cleaned in the oven.

lTurn on the vent hood fan or other kitchen vents during the cleaning cycle This u4l help remove smoke. odor and heat that are normal

during the cycle
