Special tips Keep the kitchen well ventilated
during the cleaning cycle to help
get rid ot normal heat, odors and
smoke
If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the
oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long
enough or you may not have pre-
pared the oven properly. Set the
cleaning time longer the next time
and hand clean areas noted on
page 17
Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more
smoke than usual.
Oven racks lose their shine, discolor
and become harder to slide on their
guides when they are left in the oven
during the cleaning cycle. To make
them slide easier, polish the edges
of the racks with a soapy steel-wool
pad, rinse well and wipe on a thin
coat of salad oil.
