Special tips
l
Keep the kitchen well ventilated dur-
ing the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get
rid of heat, odors and smoke.
l
Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleanrng a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more
smoke than usual.
l
If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn't get
the oven as clean as you expected,
the cycle may not have been set long
enough or you may not have prepared
the oven properly. Set the Self-Clean-
ing cycle longer the next time and
hand clean areas noted on page 16.
