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

NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven if most of the soil is removed first by handcleaning or a dish- washer. lf most of the soil is not removed, excess’nre smoking will occur. The chrome broiler pan grid will discolor if cleaned in the Setf-Cleaning cycle.

3.wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle.

NOTE: If oven racks are cleaned in the Self- Cleaning cycle, they will become harder to slide.

Heat and odors are normal during the Sell- Cleaning cycle. lf needed, remove them by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
