shelf may have to be shifted slightly
so shelf stops do not interfere with
placement of panels.)

unit slightly makes this easier to do.
Lift back panel and remove. Place
bottom and back panels back-to-
back so soiled sides face outward.
It is important that panels lay flat
on shelf.
Lift side panels up and out of oven.
Place back-to-back on remaining
self-clean shelf.
