• Wipe up food spills containing sugar as
soon as possible after the oven cools
down. When sugar is heated to a high
temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the
high temperature can cause the sugar to
burn and react with the porcelain. This can
cause staining and etching or pitting.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but
they will discolor and become harder to
slide. Ifyou clean racks in the Self-Clean-
ing cycle, place them on the rack guides.
• 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.
NOTES:
• Do not block the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the
cooktop. They may melt.
• 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.
