Operating the SeifoCieaning Oven NormalC,eao ngTime:3hours
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 grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures,
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.. If you use
soap, rinse thoroughly before self cleaning 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 out-
side 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 heat-
ed. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean
the gasket°
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean
the top, sides and outside front of the oven door
with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place,
Do not rub or clean the door gasket--the fiber-
glass material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact, welt4itting 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 automati-
cally after the clean cycle is set.
CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some
models) should never be cleaned in the self-clean-
ing oven.
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 temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven°
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

section.
2. Turn the OVEN SET knob and the OVEN TEMP

right as far as it will go.

Never force the door latch handle. Forcing the
handle may damage the door lock mechanism.
For models with press pads, the oven will now be
set to clean for its normal time of three hours_ If you
wish to change the amount of cleaning time, see the
How to Set the Amount of Cleaning Time section.
For models with dials, see the How to Set the
Amount of Cleaning Time section.
