Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven
Before a Self-Cleaning Cycle
Step 1 : Remove
the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cook-
ware and any aluminum
foil from the oven--they
can't
withstand
the
high
cleaning
temperatures_
(Oven
shelves
may be left in oven. Note: Shelves
will discol-
or during the self-cleaning
cycle.)
Step 2: Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
A. Oven Front Frame
B. Oven Door Gasket
C. Oven Light
Step
3: With
a dampened
cloth,
clean
spatters
or
spills on oven front frame
(A) and only that area on
the oven door that is outside
the gasket
(B). Do not
clean
the gasket,
Polish
cleaned
areas
with a dry
cloth.
Never
use a commercial
oven
cleaner
in or
around
the self-cleaning
oven°
Step 4: Close the door and make sure the oven light
(C) is off.
Oven
shelves
may be cleaned
in the self-cleaning
oven.. However,
they will darken,
lose their luster and
become
hard to slide. To make
shelves
slide
more
easily, after each self-cleaning
cycle, dampen
fingers
with a small amount of cooking
oil and rub lightly over
edges of shelf that contact
shelf supports.
If your range is equipped
with porcelain
enamel
drip
pans, you can clean them
in the self-cleaning
oven.
After wiping
off any boilovers
that are not stuck on,
place one pan upside
down
on each oven shelf.
Do not use commercial
oven cleaners
or oven protec-
tors in or near the self-cleaning
oven. A combination
of any of these
products
plus the high clean
cycle
temperatures
may damage
the porcelain
finish of the
oven°
important:
The
oven
door
must
be
closed
and
latched
and all controls
must be set correctly
for the
self-cleaning
cycle to work properly.
