Before a Clean Cycle
The range must be completely cooled in order to
set the self-clean cycle. You
may
have
to
allow
the
oven to cool
before
you
cun
slide the
door
latch.
1. Remove
the
broiler pan, broiler rack
all
cookware
and
any
aluminum
foil
from the oven-they
cannot
withstand [he high cleaning temperature.
NOTE:
The
oven
shelves
amy
be left in the oven.
They will discolor
and
become
hard
to slide after the
self-clean
cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on oven bottom.
If
you use
soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent
stuining.

OPEmTING
THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
u
\
Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door (B). To help prevent
water
from
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the
door
as
far
as
it will
go.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket (C)—the
fiberglass material
of the
gasket
has
an
extremely
low resistance to abrasion, An intact
and
well-
fitting oven
gasket is essential
for
energy
-eff’icicnt
oven operation
and
good
baking
results. If you
notice the
gasket
becoming worn,
frayed
or
damaged in
any
way
or if it has become displaced
on the door, you should have it replaced.
4. Close the oven door
and
make sure the
t)vcn
light
is off.
If
the oven
1
ight
is not turned off, the 1
i}e
of
the bulb will be shortened or it
may
cause the bulb
to burn out immediately.
The oven shelves
may
be cleaned in the self-c] caning
oven. However, they will darken, lose their
luster
and
become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil
after
self-cleaning to make the shelves
s]
ide
more easily.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination
of
any
of these
pl”oducts
plus the
high
clean
cycle
temperatures
may
damage
the
porcelain finish
of
the oven.
Important
The oven door must be closed
and
all
controls must
be set correctly
for
the
clean
cycle to work properly.
