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 pan and grid and
anything else 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
and/or milk 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,
etching, pitting, or faint white spots.

• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
but they will discolor and become harder
to slide. If you clean racks in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, place them on the rack
guides.
• 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. Move birds
to another closed and well ventilated room.
NOTES:
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer
and results in more smoke than usual.
• Do not block the oven vent during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely
for best cleaning results.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the
cooktop. They may melt.
• Remove any combustible items, such as
paper napkins, from the storage drawer.
This includes utensils with plastic handles
that can become overheated and melt.
• Do not leave any foil in oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.
• The oven light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
• The cooktop will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle on Canadian models.
