If your range has this knob, it has a self-cleaning oven. Follow these
instructions.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Self-Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven.
NOTE:
If your oven isequipped with shiny, silver-
colored oven racks, we recommend
to remove them before you begin the
self-clean cycle. They may remain in the
oven during the self-clean cycle, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to
slide.
If your oven isequipped with gray porcelain-
coated oven racks, they may be left in the
oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soilon the front frame of the range and outside
the gasketon the door will need to be cleaned
by hand.Cleanthese areaswith hot water,
soap-filled or plasticscouring pads or cleansers
such as Soft Scrub _.Rinsewell with cleanwater
and dry.
Do not clean the 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,
replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: T hehealth of some birds is
extremely sensitiveto the fumes given off during
