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 cycle safely.

Before You Start

1.Clean the shaded areas by hand. They do not get hot enough dur- ing the Self-Clean cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad on...

l the frame around the oven.

l the inside of the door, especially the part outside the oven seal.

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

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

3.Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke dur- ing the cleaning cycle.

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

5.Put oven racks on the second

and fourth guides. During the Self- Cleaning Cycle they will darken and become harder to slide. See tips on page 21. If you want the oven racks to remain shiny, clean them by hand.

Clean Frame

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

Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cleaning cycle.

This will help remove smoke, odor and heat that are normal during the cycle

SPECIAL CAUTIONS:

DO NOT us commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Damage to the porcelain finish may occur.

DO NOT force the Lock Lever, you could bend or break it. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.

DO NOT use foil or other liners in the oven. During the cleaning cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
