Usingthe Self-Cleaningcycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely.

Before you start

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

l The inside of the door around the edge. (The window may also require hand-cleaning.)

l The frame around the oven.

Do not clean, move or bend the fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and poor baking/roasting will result.

2.Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have in the oven.

NOTE: The broiler pan and grid can be cleaned in the oven only if most of the soil has been removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. If most of the soil has not been removed, excessive smoking will occur.

3.Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

4.If you want the oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean them by hand. Otherwise, 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. See page 23.

Heat and odors are normal during the Self- Cleaning cycle. If needed, remove them by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

NOTE: This oven is equipped with an internal cooling fan. A fan sound will be heard during a normal Self-Cleaning cycle. This fan comes on automatically to keep the electronic controls cool. Canceling the oven will not turn off this fan. It will continue running until electronic controls have sufficiently cooled. The fan will then automatically turn off.
