oven. However, they win darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide To make shelves slide more

easily, after each self-cleaning cycle, dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over edges of shelf that contact shelf supports.

If your range is equipped with porcelain enamel drip pans, you can clean them in the self-cleaning oven After wiping off any boitovers that are not stuck on, place one pan upside down on each oven shelf.

Caution: Chrome drip pans (on models so

equipped) should never be cleaned in the self- cleaning oven.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protec- tors 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

Important: The oven door must be closed and latched and all controls must be set correctly for the self-cleaning cycle to work properly
