Operating the Self-Cleaning

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting with an open window or using

a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

I. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, atl coolovare

and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE; Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin 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.

$. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front fim'ne and the

oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth° The oven front frame and the oven door outside the

gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap- filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated_ Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.

Do not use abrasives or oven deaners. Clean

the top, sides and outside fi:ont of the oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact, wel!-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baldng restdts. 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.

4.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 wiU be shortened or it may burn out immediately. The door latches automatically after the clean cycle is set.

CAITHON: The grates and drip pans (on some models) should never be cleaned in the self-

cleaning oven.

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 temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven
