Using the Self-Cleaning cycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very
high heat to burn away soil. Before
you start, make sure you understand
exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning
cycle safely.
Before you start
1. Clean the areas shown by hand.
They do not get hot enough dunng
the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn
away. Use hot water and detergent or
a soapy steel wool pad on..
l
The inside of the door. (The center
area of the door does not need to
be hand cleaned.)
l
The frame around the oven.
Do not clean, move or bend the
fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and
poor baking will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven.
NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid)
can be cleaned in the oven only if
most of the soil has been removed by
hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. The
chrome broiler grid will discolor if
cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or
grease. Thts will help reduce smoke
during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean by hand. Other-
wise, put oven racks on second and
fourth guides (guides are counted
from bottom to top). After racks
are cleaned in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, they become harder to slide.
See page 20.
Turn on the vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. This will help remove heat and
odors that are normal during the cycle.
