Before starting a self-clean cycle:
1. To extend oven light bulb life,
turn oven light off before using
the Self-Clean cycle.
2. Remove all items and the oven
racks from the oven. It is
recommended that the oven
racks be removed as they will
discolor and darken during the
Self-Clean cycle. If the oven racks
remain in the oven during the
Self-Clean cycle, wipe the side
rungs with vegetable oil after
cleaning so they will slide easier.
Broiler pan, broiler grid or
cooking utensils should not be
cleaned in the oven. Heavy
grease buildup on these items will
produce smoke which can be
discharged into the kitchen.
3. Wipe up large spillovers in the
oven cavity with a damp sponge.
The bottom element is hinged for
easier cleaning of the cavity floor.
Never use chemical oven cleaners
inside a self-cleaning oven or on
raised portion of the door.
IMPORTANT: The smoke eliminator
will handle the normal flow of odors
during the Self-Clean cycle.
However, minor smoke may be
noticed when soil buildup is heavy.
Also, some smoke may appear
during the very first cleaning cycle
due to burn-off of binders in oven
insulation. To help remove
additional smoke, heat and odors
open a window or tum on a vent
hood or other kitchen vent during
the Self-Clean cycle.
. Wipe soil from oven frame area
outside of gasket, and inside the
oven door. Wash with warm,
soapy water. (The center area of
the door does not need to be
hand-cleaned.) Rinse well with
mixture of vinegar and water and
wipe dry. A non-scratch scouring
pad may be used on heavily
soiled areas. Wash surfaces
frequently to minimize overall
cleaning as these areas are not
cleaned during the Self-Clean
cycle.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean, move,
or bend gasket. Poor cleaning,
baking, and roasting may result.
AWARNING
Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
e Do not touch the lower
oven during the Self-Clean
cycle. It could burn you.
* Do not use commercial oven
cleaners in your lower oven.
Cleaners could produce
hazardous fumes or damage
the porcelain finish.
e Do not use foil or other
liners in the lower oven.
During the Self-Clean cycle,
foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
IMPORTANT:
e 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 open
safely. Wait until it moves freely.
e Do not block the vent during the
Self-Clean cycle. Air must move
freely for best cleaning results.
e Do not leave plastic utensils near
the vent. They may melt.
