page 43. Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean. Failure to

 

clean soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the

 

small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas are not in the self-

 

cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before

 

starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon

 

brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

 

If your oven is cooking poorly or the Self Clean is performing badly, perform the

 

following check: Boil, Press the Up button, and “HI” should appear on the display.

 

Place your hand near the handle on the oven door. Between the door and the control

call a service technician to replace your cooling fan.
