Before a Clean Cycle
Quick Reminder:
1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Slide the latch handle to the right as far as it
will go.
4. Press the CLEAN pad.
5. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad
to set the Clean Time.
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven
to cool before ybu can slide ~he door latch.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven–they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be left in oven.
They will discolor and become hard to slide after
the self-clean cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A),
and only that area on the oven door that is outside
the gasket. Do not clean the gasket. Use detergent
and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad,
then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.
This will help prevent a brown residue from
forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth. Never use a commercial oven
cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.
Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with
soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven
cleaners.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover (D) is in place.
Do not let water run down through openings (C)
in the top of the door. To help prevent water
from getting in these slots when cleaning, open
the door as far as it will go.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket (B)—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 have it replaced.
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D)
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of
the bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb
to burn out immediately.
The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning
oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves
slide more easily.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A
combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
Important
The oven door must be closed and all controls must
be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.
