high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, 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...

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

l The frame around the oven.

DO NOT clean, move or bend the flberglass seal. Poor cleaning and poor baklng will result.

2.Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have stored in the oven.

NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven only if most of the soil has been removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. The chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

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.It you want the oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean by hand. Other- 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 24. Chrome reflector bowls must not be cleaned in the oven. They will discolor.
