Thegasket is designed with a gap
at the bottom to allow for proper
air circulation.
Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand
on self-clean models.
The area outside the gasket and
the front frame can be cleaned with
a soap-filled steel-wool pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse weft
with a vinegar and water solution.

has an extremelylow resistance to

If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any way,
or flit has become displaced on the
