OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Vhe range must be completely cool in order to set
.he self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven
to cool before you can slide the door latch.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any alumilmm foil from the oven they calmot
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.
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 from 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 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 heated. 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 flont 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
fiberglass nmterial of the gasket has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-
fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-
efficient oven operation and good baking results.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed
or danmged in any way or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
4. Close the oven door aim nmke sure the oven light
is off. If the oven light is not turned of L the life of
the bulb will be shortened or it nmy burn out
immediately.
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 nmy danmge the
porcelain finish of the oven.
