Wipe up any heavy spiitovers on the
oven bottom.
Do not clean the door gasket_
The fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the gasket
to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, it should be
replaced
Door Liner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the oven This is due to
the gasket. The location of the gasket
on the door maintains a good seal and
prevents any heat loss
Utensils should never
be left in the oven
during a clean cycle.
Nickel oven racks may
be cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, but will lose their luster
and become hard to slide. If you
choose to leave them in during
the cycle, wiping them with
vegetable oil after the cycle will
help them slide easier.
Gray porcelain-coated oven
racks may safely be cleaned in
the oven during a self-clean
cycle. Wiping them down with
vegetable oil after the cycle will
help them slide easier.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened window or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor produced when heating
new parts.
