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 Self-Cleaning cycle safely.
Before you start
1. Clean the areas shown by hand.
They do not get hot enough during
the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and
detergent or a soapy steel wool pad
on...
l
The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need to be
hand cleaned.)
l
The frame around the oven.
Do not clean, move or bend the
fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and
poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you may have stored
in the oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid)
can be cleaned in the oven only if most
of the soil has been removed by hand-
cleaning or a dishwasher. The chrome
broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease.
This will help reduce smoke during
the Self-Cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean them by hand.
Otherwise, put oven racks on second
and fourth guides (guides are
counted from bottom to top). After
racks are cleaned in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, they become harder
to slide. See page 23.
Turn on a vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. This will help remove heat
and odors that are normal during the
cycle.
