rocks, all utensils
and any foil that may be In the oven.
Do not try to
clean utensils or any other objects in the oven during
a self-ctean cycle,
d oven recks
are left in the
range

cycle,
they will darken,
lose their
luster
and become
herd to slide.
If
you choose to leave the racks in the oven, you can
polish the edges of the rocks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rack
edges after the self-clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket
and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" Into the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
