Caring For Your Lower Oven
Continued
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 areas shown 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...

The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need to
be hand cleaned.)

pots and pans you may have

5. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean by hand. Other-

from bottom to top). After racks are
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
they become harder to slide. See
page 19.
Turn on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
This will help remove heat and odors
that are normal during the cycle.
