Before You Se f Clean

1.Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven front frame and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below). They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soi! to burn away. Use a soapy sponge, plastic scrubber or an S.O.S.® pad. DO NOT RUB THE GASKET.

2.Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.

3.Remove broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.

4.Remove oven racks. Ifthe oven racksare leftinthe oven during a self cleaning cycle, they will permanently lose their shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning for proper care, Page51.

NOTE: The Extendable Rack must be removed before a self

clean. The rack may not be usable if it is left in during self clean.

5.Besure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 53.

6.Heat and odors are normal during the Self Clean cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated.

After Self C ean

•At the end of the Clean cycle, gray ash remains inside the oven. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily removed, when the oven is cold, using a damp sponge or cloth. If the racks do not slide easily after being cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess.
