FIRE HAzARD: Wipe grease and heavy soil from oven before self-cleaning. Failure to do so may result in an oven fire.

Never place cooking utensils, baking stones, foil, or any other items on the oven floor. Even items rated for high temperature may permanently adhere to oven bottom or cause heat damage to the oven, flooring or items in storage drawer.

If your range has this control pad, it has a self-cleaning oven. Follow these instructions.

If not, refer to the Porcelain Oven Cleaning section for oven cleaning instructions.

Tips Care and Cleaning

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

NOTE:

■If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-colored oven racks, we recommend to remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle. They may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

■If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled or plastic scouring pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
