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

NOTE You can clean the broiler pan and grid in the oven if you have first removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur.

l Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the 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 23.) 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.)

. 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.

Personal Injury and

Product Damage Hazard

l Do not touch the oven during the Self- Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.

l Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners may produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.

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

NOTE: 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.

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

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

Setting the controls

3 hours is desired, push the Clean pad. Turn the Set Knob to the new time up to 4 hours.

l Use 2 hours for light soil.

l Use 3-4 hours for moderate to heavy soil.

NOTE: If the door is not latched, “DOOR” will flash in the display and a tone will sound. Latch the door and LOCK will come on.
