Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely.

Before You Start

1.Clean the shaded areas by hand. They do not get hot enough

during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel wool pad on...

l The inside of the door.

l The frame around the oven.

00 NOT clean the fiberglass seal.

00NOT move it or bend it. Poor cleaning and poor baking will result.

2.Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have stored in the oven. They can’t stand the heat.

3.Wipe out any loose soil or

grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

4.If the oven has a rotisserie, make sure the motor socket cover is closed.

5. if you want the oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean by hand. Cther- wise, put oven racks on second and fourth guides (guides are counted from bottom to top). After racks are cleaned in the Self- Cleaning cycle, they become harder to slide. See chart on page 23.

6.if you want to clean the reflector bowls in the oven: l Wipe the reflector bowls of loose soil and grease.

l Place 2 bowls, upside down on each oven rack. For best results, they should not touch each other or the oven walls.

l Chrome trim rings must not be cleaned in the oven. They will discolor.

Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. This will help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle.
