tt is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good

the gasket The location of the gasket

Utensils should never
be left in the oven
during a self-clean
cycle.
The oven racks may be
cleaned during the self-
clean cycle, but wild 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.
