Before o Cleon Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen with
an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, probe,
all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
NOTE:
If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks,they
may be left in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the oven and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Cleanthese areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub_.Rinsewell
with clean water and dry.
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.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Hake sure the oven light bulb cover
is in place and the oven light is off.
ItvtPORTANT: The health of some
birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-cleaning cycle
of any oven. Hove birds to another
well-ventilated room.
