SELF-CtEANINC
CYCU
The Self-Cleaning
cycle
saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the
inside of the oven. Like the other functions
of your range, you run the Self-Cleaning
cycle
with the
easy-to-use
controls.
Please
review the instructions
in this section
to keep your oven spotless.
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.
Before you start the Self-Cleaning
cycle, make
sure you:
® Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot
enough dunng the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to
burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a
soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
IN©TE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
÷ Remove the broiler pan and grid and any pots
and pans 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 or pitting.
® 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 Range" 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.

They may melt.
÷ Do not leave any foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt
and damage the oven surface.
