We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the self-cleaning
cycle.
Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all
cookware, and any aluminum foil from the oven.
Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide.
Residue on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean
these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well 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. (Fig. 2)
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
