Self-Clean Cycle - Kenmore 911.30425 Use & Care Manual

THE SELF.CLEAN CYCLE (3 MOURS. NORMAL CLSAN T,MS)
BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLe:
1. Remove the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, al!
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 clean cycle, they will darken_
lose their luster and become hard to slide, if
you choose to leave _he racks in the oven, you
can polish the edges of the racks with steel
wool and apply a small amount of vegetable oil
to the rack edges after the self-clean cycle.
This will make the racks easier to slide.
2. Soil 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
looking 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.

Wipe up heavy splllovers on the oven bottom. Too
much soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
Do not rub the door gasket. The fiberglass material of
the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
An intact and well fitting 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.
You can press the STOP TiME pad to see the time of
