OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves and the convection
roasting rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning
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 shelves
slide more easily.
2. Wipe up any spillovers, residue or ash. If you use
soap, rinse thoroughly to prevent staining.
3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door
outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-
clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well
with a vinegar and water solution. This will help
prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.
Clean the outside front of the oven door with
soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean
under the oven vent grille. Do not use abrasives
or oven cleaners.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient 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 oven
light is off. If the oven light is not turned off,
the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may
burn out immediately. The door latches
automatically after the clean cycle is set.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the
high clean-cycle temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
Important:
The oven door must be closed and all controls must
be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
