"ngthe Self-Cleaning
Cycle
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or
illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
DO NOT
hand-clean
gasket
Hand-clean frame
Hand-clean door
around edge
Before you start the Self-Cleaning
cycle, make sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
- Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not
get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad
for cleaning.
,, Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots
on door and frame.
,, Remove the broiler grid and any cook-
ware/bakeware being stored in the oven.
,, Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
,, Wipe up food spills containing sugar as
soon as possible after the oven cools
down. When sugar is heated to a high
temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the
high temperature can cause the sugar to
burn and react with the porcelain. This can
cause staining and etching, pitting, or faint
white spots.
- Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See the "Cleaning chart" in the "Caring for
Your Oven" section.) If you clean the racks
in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on
the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)
,, Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain
birds. Always move birds to another closed
and well ventilated room.
