Setting the Controls

Step 1:
Remove the broiler pan, broiler
rack, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
(Oven shelves may be left in the
oven. NOTE: Shelves will discolor
during the self-cleaning cycle.)

Step 3:
Clean spatters or soil on the oven
front frame (A), under the front
edge of the oven vent, the door
liner outside the door gasket and
the front edge of the oven cavity
(about 1" into the oven). Use
detergent and hot water with a
soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a
brown residue from forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth.
Clean top, sides and outside front
of oven door with soap and water.
Also, clean under the air grille (E)
above the oven with soap and
water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
Do not let water run down
through openings in the top of
the door (B). To help prevent
water from getting in these slots
when cleaning, open the door as
far as it will go.
Clean the door gasket (C) using
a clean sponge to soak the soiled
area with hydrogen peroxide.
Repeated soaking may be needed
depending on the amount of soil.
Frequent cleaning will prevent
excessive soil buildup. Do not rub
the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to
abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation
and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or
if it has become displaced on the
door, you should replace it.
cover (D) is in place.
Step 4:
Close the oven door and make
sure the oven light is off. Door
latches automatically.
Oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However,
they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make shelves
slide more easily.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners or oven protectors in
or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these
products plus the high clean-cycle
temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
