OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven--they can't
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves 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 heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
u_soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning.

Clean spatters or soil on tile oven Front flame 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 sell-
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 top, sides and outside front of the oven
door with soap and water. 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 well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and g_x_dbaking 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.
Do not let water run down through openings in
the top of the door. To help prevent water t_)m
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door
as far as it will go.
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.
