Before a Cleon Cycle
Forthe first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using u ventilation fan or hood.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil
from the oven-they cannot withstand the
high cleaning temperatures.

shelves,remove them before you begin
the self-clean cycle.

porcelain-coated oven shelves,they may
be left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.

outside the gasket on the door will need to
be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with
hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub1 Rinsewell

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

bottom.
Hake sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.

is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
