c/sing the Self-Cleaning
Cycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand¬
cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-
Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly, follow
the step-by-step instructions in this section.
Before you start
Before you start the Seif-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the Self-Clean¬
ing cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot
water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool
pad for cleaning.
NOTES:
• DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
gasket. Poor cleaning, baking, and
roasting may result.
• DO NOT let water, cleaner, etc., enter
slots on door and frame.
• Remove the broiler pan grid and anything
else being stored in the oven.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See page 39.) If you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)
• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen
well ventilated by opening a window or
by turning on a vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the cycle.
^WARNING
Burn Hazard
• Do not touch the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven.
Failure to follow the above could result
in burns or hazardous fumes.
NOTES:
• Do not block the oven vent during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely
for best cleaning results.
• Do not leave any foil in 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.
