NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven only if most of the soil has been

removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. The chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

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

If you want the 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. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the sides of the racks to make

them easier to slide. See chart on page 20.
