Care and Cleaning Instructions Safety

Operating

Before a Clean Cycle

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

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

The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A combination of any of these products plus the high clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

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 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.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

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

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (if so equipped) should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

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.

Troubleshooting Installation Tips Instructions

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
