l
Remove the broiler pan grid and any
pots and pans
being stored in the oven.
NOTE:
You can clean the broiler pan
(without grid) in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-
cleaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the
soil is not removed, too much smoking
will occur. The chrome broiler pan grid will
discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
l
Wipe out any loose soil or grease.
This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
l
Remove the oven racks from the oven
if you want them to remain shiny. You
can clean the oven racks in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, but they will become
harder to slide. (See page 38.) If you
clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
place them on the 2nd and 4th rack
guides. (Guides are counted from bottom
to top.)
l
Heat and odors
are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen
well ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
Personal injury Hazard
.Do not touch the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.
l
Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven. Cleaners could produce
hazardous fumes or damage the porce-
lain finish.
NOTES:
l
Do not force
the Lock Lever. You could
bend or break it. The lever is designed to
stay locked until the oven is cool enough to
safely open. Wait until it moves freely.
l
Do not block
the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
l
Do not leave
plastic utensils near the
vent. They may melt.
l
Do not leave
any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.
l
The oven light
will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
