seal against the range This is due to
the gasket_ The location of the gasket

left in the oven during a
self-clean cycle.
The oven racks may be cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, but
will lose their luster and become
hard to slide. If you choose
to leave them in during the
cycle, wiping them down with
vegetable oil after the cycle
will help them slide easier.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened window or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor produced when heating
new pads.
