Self-Clean Oven
To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around
the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to
prevent excessive smoking and flare-ups during the clean
cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted
slightly (1 to 1_h inches).
Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet potatoes,
tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid re-
sistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if
acht spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle. Re-
move the air grille before self-cleaning to avoid discolora-
tion of air grille.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the entire oven interior.
