Operating the SeUf=O eaning Oven
Normal Cleaning
Time: 3 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
We
recommend
venting
with
an
open
window
or using
a ventilation
fan or hood
during
the first
self-clean
cycle
1. Remove
the broiler pan, broiler
rack, all cookware
and any aluminum
foil from the oven--they
cannot
withstand
the high cleaning
temperatures
NOTE:
The oven shelves
may be cleaned
in the
self-cleaning
oven. However
they will darken,
lose
their luster and become
hard to slide.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
If you use
soap,
rinse
thoroughly
before
self cleaning
to
prevent
staining.

3. Clean
spatters
or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket
with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door out-
side the gasket do not get cleaned
by the self-clean
cycle. On these areas, use detergent
and hot water
or a soap-filled
steel wool pad
Rinse
well with a
vinegar
and water solution.
This will help prevent a
brown residue
from forming
when the oven is heat-
edo Buff these areas
with a dry cloth

the gasket.
Do not use abrasives
or oven
cleaners.
Clean
the top, sides and outside
front of the oven door
with soap and water,
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
Do not rub or clean
the door
gasket--the
fiber-
glass material
of the gasket
has an extremely
low
resistance
to abrasion
An intact, well-fitting
oven
door gasket
is essential
for energy-efficienl
oven
operation
and good baking results, tf you notice the
gasket
becoming
worn, frayed
or damaged
in any
way or if it has become displaced
on the door, you
should have it replaced
4. Close
the oven door and make
sure the oven
light
is off.
If the
oven
light
is not turned
off,
the life of the
bulb will be shortened
or it may
burn out immediately,
The door latches
automati-
cally after the clean cycle is set.
CAUTION:
The
grates
and
drip
pans
(on some
models)
should
never
be cleaned
in the self-clean-
ing 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,
