THE SELF-CLEAN
CYCLE
BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE
1. Remove the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, all
utensils and any foil that may be In the oven. Do not
try to clean utensils or any other objects In the oven
during a self-clean cycle. ]if oven racks
are left in
the range during
a cnean cycle, they wil! darken_
lose
their
luster
and beconm
hard to slide,
if
you choose to leave the racks In the oven, you can
polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable
oll to the rack
edges after the self.clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Sell on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket
and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" Into the
oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (see
Illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a clean cycle.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad. We
recommend a cleanser such as 'Soft Scrub®' brand
or a similar cleaning product to keep white surfaces
looklng clean and new. After cleaning, rinse well to
help prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas dry with a dry cloth°

3. Wipe up heavy splllovers on the oven bottom.
Too
much soil may cause smoking during the clean, cycle.
4. Do not rub the doorgasket.
The fiberglass material of
the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
An Intact and well flttlng 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 the seal.
PUease Note. =
The door
gasket
is designed
to have
a 5".6 = gap
at the bottom
of the even
doer.
This is te allew
for proper
air circulation.
AFTER
A CLEAN
CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash In the
oven. Just wlpe It up with a damp cloth.
if white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad.
Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually
a salt reslduethat cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle
may be repeated.
