l
Remove the broiler pan and 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 30.) 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.
Burn Hazard
l
Do not touch the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
l
Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven.
Failure to follow the above could result
in burns or hazardous fumes.
NOTES:
l
Do not force the locking mechanism. You
could bend or break it. The locking mecha-
nism is designed to stay locked until the
oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait
until the door opens freely.
l
Do not block the oven 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
Do not use the oven light during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Use during the Self-
Cleaning cycle will shorten the life of the
bulb.
