Operating
the Self-Cleaning
Oven
Programmed
Cleaning
Time:
3 7,-hours
Prepare the Oven Before
Setting the Controls
The oven must be completely
cool
in order to set the self-clean cycle
Step 1:
Remove the broiler pan, broiler
rack, all cookwme
and any
aluminum
foil from the oven
(Oven shelves may be left in the
oven
Note: shelves will discolor
during the self-cleaning
cycle..)
Step 2:
Wipe up heavy soil on oven
bottom. If you use soap, rinse
thoroughly
before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.
Step 3:
o Clean spatters or soil on the oven
front frame (A), under' the front
edge of the oven vent, the door
liner' outside the door gasket and
the fi'ont edge of the oven cavity
(about !" into the oven), Use
detergent
and hot water with a
soap-filled
steel wool pad, then
rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a
brown residue fi'om forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth.
° Clean top, sides and outside front
of oven door with soap and water
Do not use abrasives
or oven
cleaners,,
Do not let water inn down through
openings
in the top of the door' (B).
Clean the door gasket (C) using
a clean sponge to soak the soiled
area with hydrogen peroxide
Repeated
soaking may be needed
depending
on the amount of soil,
Frequent cleaning will prevent
excessive
soit buildup. Do not rub
the door gasket--the
fiberglass
material of the gasket has an
extremely
low resistance
to
abrasion, An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient
oven operation
and good baking results, If you
notice the gasket becoming
worn,
frayed or damaged
in any way or'
if it has become displaced
on the
door, you should replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb
cover (D) is in place.

they wilt darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide, Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning
to make shelves
slide more easily
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
temperature
may damage the
porcelain
finish of the oven
