BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you: � Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning. NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting. DO NOT hand-clean gasket Hand-clean frame

� Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door
and frame.

� Remove the broiler pan and grid and any

cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven. reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

� Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help � 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 SelfCleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting. them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven

� Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See the �Cleaning chart� in the �Caring for Your Range� section.) If you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides are counted from bottom to top.)

� Heat and odors are normal during the SelfCleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the SelfCleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

TIPS: � Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. � Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual. � 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 the 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.
