l Remove the broiler pan grid and any pots and pans being stored in the oven.

NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan (without grid) in the oven if you have first removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur.The chrome broiler pan grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

l Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self- Cleaning cycle.

l Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You

can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See page 27.) If you clean racks in the Self- Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.)

l Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

Setting the controls

1.Move the Lock Lever to the right - the Clean position.

When the oven temperature goes above normal baking/roasting temperatures, the door cannot be opened and the Lock Lever must not be moved.

2.Set the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control Knob to CLEAN.

3.Make sure the clock and Start and Stop Times all have the correct time of day.

Burn Hazard

l Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

l Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow the above could result in burns or hazardous fumes.

NOTES:

l Do not force the Lock Lever. You could

bend or break it. The lever is designed to

. . . .. .

stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.

l Do not block the vent during the Self- Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

l Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

l Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent. They may melt.

l The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
