The Self-Clean Cycle

(some models)

BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE

FRONT FRAME

1.Remove the broil pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils and any foil that may be in the oven. Do not try to clean utensils or any other objects in the oven during a self- clean cycle. If oven racks are left in the range during a cleancycle, theywilldarken, lose theirlusterand become hard to slide. If you choose to leave the racks in the oven, you can polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack edges afterthe self-cleancycle. This will make the racks easier to slide.

2.Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of the cooktop (does not apply to built-in ovens), 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). Clean these areas by hand before starting a clean cycle.

Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then rinse well.

3.Wipe up heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. Too much soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.

soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated soaking may be neededdependingon the amount of soil. Frequent cleaning will help prevent excessive soil build-up. Do not rub the door seal. The fiberglass material of the seal has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well fitting 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.

AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle may need to be repeated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use oven cleaners. Listen for the fan. A fan noise should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call a serviceman before self-cleaning again.
