Precleaning

cleaning cycle. The oven door may be removed to make precleaning easier (see
instructions). Use caution ti,hen removing the oven door-it
is very heavy.

any part of the self-cleaning oven. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom.

What to Expect
During
Cleaning
While the cycle is in operation. the oven heats to temperatures higher than those
used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contracrion are normal.
Odor is also normal as the food soil is being cleaned. Smoke may appear through
the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning. they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. This IS normal and safe and should not cause
alarm. ~f'~rl~riloblc.
