Before a self-cleaning cycle
•
We recommend venting your kitchen with
an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood during the self-cleaning cycle.
•
Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan
insert, all cookware, and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
•
Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
•
The silver-colored oven racks can be self-
cleaned, but they will darken, lose their
luster, and become hard to slide.
•
Residue on the front frame of the range
and outside the gasket on the door will
need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these
areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool
pads, or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
•
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, have it replaced.
(Fig. 2)
•
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
NOTE
Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the self-clean mode.
