Cleaning and Maintenance

2.Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See “Oven Cleaning Chart” on page 43 for proper care.

3.Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven. Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self- cleaning.

Do hand-clean 1 1/2 inches from rack guides to front of oven cavity.

Do not hand-clean the gasket.

Do hand-clean frame area outside the gasket.

 

 

Do hand-clean door

 

 

area outside the gasket.

4.

Review illustration above. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand

 

 

before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a deter-

 

 

gent-filled S.O.S.® pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame

 

 

and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not

 

 

clean or rub the gasket on the oven. The gasket is designed to hold in heat

 

 

during the self-clean cycle. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.

 

5.

Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in

 

 

place. Do not operate oven without light bulb and cover in place.

 

Important: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on the self-clean oven or

 

any part because they will damage the finish or part.
