Prepare the Oven Before Setting the Controls

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

1.Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be left in the oven. They will discolor and become hard to slide after the self-clean cycle.

2.wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use

soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

3.Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame (A), under the front edge of the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1“ into the oven). Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door (B). To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket (C)—the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (D) is in place.

B. Openings in Door

3.Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb to burn our immediately. The door latches automatically after the clean cycle is set.

The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

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 temperature may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
