;;;s the Self-Cleaning

The Se&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 start

1.Handclean the indicated areas.

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 ...

l The inside of the door around the edge. (The window may also require hand-cleaning.)

l The frame around the oven.

Do not clean, move or bend the fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and poor bakingroasting 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 if most of the soil is 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.Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. If the oven racks are cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the second and fourth rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) lf oven racks are cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle, they will become harder to slide. (See page 35.)

Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. If needed, remove them by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
