Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start,
make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely.
Before You Start
1. Clean the shaded areas by
hand. They do not get hot enough
during the Self-Clean cycle for
soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel
wool pad on...
l
the frame around the oven.
l
the inside of the door, especially
the part outside the oven seal.
3.
Wipe out any loose soil or
grease. This will help reduce
smoke during the cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks
to remain shiny, remove them
from the oven and clean them
by hand. Otherwise, put oven
racks on the second and fourth
guides (guides are counted from
bottom to top). During the
Self-Cleaning cycle they become
harder to slide. See chart on
page 20.
Turn on the vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the cleaning
CLEAN DOOR cycle. This will help remove smoke,
CLEAN SEAL
odor and heat that are normal
during the cycle.
DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal.
DO NOT move it or bend it. Poor
cleaning and poor baking will
result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and
any pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can't
stand the high heat.
