USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning the inside of the oven. Like the other functions of your range, you run the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use controls. 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 these instructions 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 Self-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 gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.

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

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

Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the Self- Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

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 the “Cleaning chart” in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The 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 gasket

TIPS:

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 the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

The oven light will not work during the Self- Cleaning cycle.
