TIPS:
•
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during
the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of
heat, odors, and smoke.
•
Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes
longer and results in more smoke than
usual.
•
Do not block the oven vents during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely
for best cleaning results.
•
Do not leave plastic utensils on the
cooktop. They may melt.
•
Remove any combustible items, such as
paper napkins, from the storage drawer.
This includes utensils with plastic handles
that can become overheated and melt.
•
Do not leave any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn
or melt and damage the oven surface.
•
The oven light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
