THE SELF-CLEAN
CYCLE
(Upper
Oven
Only)
BEFORE
A CLEAN
CYCLE
1. Remove the broll pan and grid, oven racks, all 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 the racks In the oven, you can
polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable oll to the rack
edges after the self-clean
cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Soll on the oven front frame and 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 Illustrstlon below).
Clean these
areas by hand before starting a clean cycle. Do not
let water run down through openings
in the top
of the door.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steal wool pad, then
rinse well.
No matter how stubborn
the stain, never use harsh
abrasive cleaners. They could permanently damage
the enamel surface. 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. This will help prevent a brown
residue from forming when the oven Is heated. Buff
these areas dry with a dry cloth.
FRONT FRAME
3. Wipe up heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. Too
much soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
4. DOnot rub the door gasket. The fiberglass material of
the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abraslon.
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 gasket.
NOTE=
The door gasket Is designed with a 5" to 6" gap at the
bottom for proper air clrculetlon.

AFTER
A CLEAN
CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash In the
oven. Just wipe It up with a damp cloth.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steal wool pad.
Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually
a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven Is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle
may be repeated.
