Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The self-cleaning cycle uses very
hlgh heat
to burn away soil. Before you start,
make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely.
Before You Start
1. Clean the shaded areas by
hand.
They do not get hot enough
during the Self-Cleaning cycle
for soil to burn away. Use hot
water and detergent or a soapy
steel wool pad on...
l the frame around the oven.
l the inside of the door, especially
the part outside the oven seal.
l the first 2-3 inches of oven near
the door.
DO NOT clean the flberglass seal.
DO NOT move It or bend It. Poor
cleaning and poor baklng will result.
2. Remove the broiler pan and any
pots and pans you
may have
stored in the oven. They can’t
stand the heat.
3. Wlpe out any loose soll or
grease.
This will help reduce
smoke during the cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to
remain shiny, remove from the
oven and clean them by hand.
Otherwise, put oven racks on sec-
ond and fourth guides (guides
are counted from bottom to top).
During the Self-Cleaning Cycle
they become harder to slide. See
tips on page 22.
Clean Seal
DO Clean Door
Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cleaning cycle. This will
help remove heat and odors that are normal during the cycle.
SPECIAL CAUTIONS:
DO
NOT
use commercial oven
cieaners in your oven. Damage to
the porcelain finish may occur.
DO NOT
force the Lock Lever, you
could bend or break it. The lever is
designed to stay locked until the
oven is cool enough to safely open.
Wait until it moves freely.
DO
NOT
use foil or other liners in the
oven. During the cleaning cycle foil
can burn or melf and damage the
oven surface.
