BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE
1.Remove the broil pan and grid, oven racks, all uten- sils and any foil that may be in the oven. If oven racks are left in the range during a clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
2.Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of the cooktop, the door liner outside the door seal and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1” into the oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before starting a clean cycle.
Use detergent and hot water with a
3.Wipe up excessive spillovers on the oven bottom. Too much heavy soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
4.Clean the door seal by 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 help prevent ex- cessive soil build up. Do not rub the door seal ex- cessively. The fiberglass material of the seal has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. Any cotton
material especially (including cottonballs), can easi- ly rub a hole into the seal. Do not use any cotton materials to clean the seal. An intact and well fit- ting oven door seal is essential for energy efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the seal becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door you should replace the seal.
FRONT FRAME
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protec- tors in or near the oven. These products plus the high
temperature of the clean cycle may damage the porcelain finish.
DO NOT clean glass ceramic cookware or any other cookware in the oven during a
