3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-

prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the outside front of the oven door with
soap and water. Also use soap and water to

and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking

Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water from
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door
as far as it will go.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of
the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out

the clean cycle is set.
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.
