not attempt to clean it. Its own operation burns off any impurities
which may condense on it.
Clean the broiler pan and grid after each use with detergent and hot
water, for stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The broiler
pan and grid is also dishwasher safe.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS
OR RACK SUPPORTS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage clue to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.

Self-Clean Cycle
CAUTION:
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle
has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may
be some odor and smoking from the "curing" of the binder in the
high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thorougly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-
cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-CLEAN
CYCLE.
