Remove the broiler pan grkl 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.

Wlpe out any loose soil or grease. This will
help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle.

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

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.
