Before starting fresh clean
Adhere to the following precautions before a self-clean cycle:
• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including
food, cookware, utensils, plastic, and any aluminum foil.
Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures gener-
ated during the self-clean cycle.
• Remove all oven racks and accessories from the oven inte-
rior to avoid possible damage. If the oven racks are not
removed they may discolor. The Luxury Glide™ oven rack
must be removed before starting self-clean to avoid damag-
ing the glide ability of the rack. REMOVE RACKS will flash
in the display for several seconds as a reminder to remove
the racks before starting a self-clean cycle.
Fig. 63 Remove racks indicator
• Be sure the oven vent is clear.
• Remove all items from the storage drawer.
• Be sure oven light shield is in place.
• Remove any excess spills or loose debris. Spills on the
oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a
cloth. Large food spill overs can cause heavy smoke or a
fire during self-clean. Spills that have a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) may leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket
use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing
so may damage the gasket. The woven material of the
oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or remove the door gasket.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective coat-
ings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven cleaners
may damage the porcelain during the next self-clean cycle.
Clean any soil from the oven exterior. Clean using soap and
water before starting a self-clean cycle. If soils are not removed,
they may burn on due to the high temperature during self-clean.

Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Keep children away from the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fums given
off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to anoth-
er well-ventilated room.
Do Not line the oven walls, oven racks, oven bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will stop heat dis-
tribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent
damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to a hot oven
surface during self-clean.
