What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion
and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent, located on the
top of the control panel.
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. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.

Upswept lift cooktop (some models)
On some models, the cooktop, when equipped with coil elements, can be raised to facilitate cleaning of
the panel.
To raise the cooktop, grab the sides and lift from the front. Use the two sliding wire supports located on
each side of the cooktop and pull them toward you, to the lock position, in order to maintain the cooktop
in the raised position while cleaning the panel.
Lower the cooktop slowly; be careful not to pinch fingers. Do not let the cooktop fall
freely, as this may damage the porcelain finish.
