Using the self-cleaning oven.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavysoil onthe oven bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus
the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Cleanthese areas
with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. ® Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spilloverson the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
CAUTION:
Thegrates and
drip pans tif so equipped) should never
be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or
oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning
oven. A combination of any of these products
plus the high clean cycle temperatures may
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
