Do not clean the door 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, it should be replaced
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5"-6" gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the oven. This is due to
the gasket. The location of the gasket
on the door maintains a good seal and
prevents any heat loss

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 when heating new parts.
