Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid,
all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
NOTE:
s
If your oven is equipped with nickel
oven shelves, remove them before you
begin the self-clean cycle, or they may
discolor.
s
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven shelves, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
The nickel oven shelves (on some
models) can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster and become
hard to slide.
