Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow the above can result in burns, or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.

Remove 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 in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self- Cleaning cycle.

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 34). 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.

DO NOT hand-clean seal

Hand-clean door around edge

NOTES:

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

Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They may melt.

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

To prolong bulb life, leave the oven light off during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
