CARE AND CLEANING
Before Starting SELF CLEAN
Do not hand clean the
oven door gasket
Hand clean the door
Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the
oven.
The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the
odors from cleaning.
If running a self clean in one of the ovens, the other
oven can not be used.
Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven.
Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and
the oven light is off.
The oven light cannot be turned on during a self clean
cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the oven
clean cycle is complete.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.
NOTE
Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot soapy
water. Rinse well.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door
gasket is made of a woven material that is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or remove this gasket.
Do not open the oven door until the self clean cycle is
complete.
The oven door can become extremely hot. Do not
touch the oven door until it has cooled down.
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first
few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal.
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal.
A self clean cycle cannot be started if the Oven Lock-
out feature is active.

After Self Clean
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it off
with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the
clean cycle.
If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack sup-
ports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them
glide easier.
