Caring For Your Range
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 star!
I. Clean the areas shown by hand. They do
not get hot enough during ihe Self-Cleaning
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and
detergent or a soapy steel wool pad on...
l
The 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 fiberglass
seal. Poor cleaning and poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any pots and
pans you may have stored in the oven.
NOTE:
The broiler pan and grid can be cleaned
in the oven only if most of the soil has been
removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will
help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning
cycle.

4. If you want the oven racks to remain shiny,
remove from the oven and clean them by
hand. Otherwise, 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 page 24.
Heat and odors are normal during the cycle. If
needed, remove them by opening a window or by
turning on
a
vent hood or other kitchen vent
during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
