Prepare the Oven Before

Setting the Controls

Step 1:

Remove the broiler pan, broiler

rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

(Oven shelves may be left in the oven. NOTE: Shelves will

discolor during the self-cleaning cycle.)

Step 2:

Wipe up heavy soil on oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

A. Oven Front Frame

B. Openings in the Door

C. Oven Door Gasket

D. Oven Light

E. Oven Vent Grille

Step 3:

•Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame (A), under the front edge of the oven vent, 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.

• Clean top, sides and outside front

of oven door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven

cleaners.

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.

Clean the door gasket (C) using a clean sponge to soak the soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated soaking may be needed depending on the amount of soil. Frequent cleaning will prevent excessive soil buildup. Do not rub

the door gasket--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 replace it.

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

Step 4:

Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off.

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.

Important

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly. To help you understand how the clean cycle works, the stages of the cycle are noted below.

1.Close the oven door completely.

2.Set the controls.

3.The words "SET TIME CLEAN" and the selected clean time from 2-4hours is

displayed. The door locks automatically, the oven begins to heat.
