1. To remove, extend the hood as far as it will open.
Hook a finger behind flexible bar at each side of
hood extension and move toward center of hood to
move pins out of holes. Hood extension can be
removed.

detergent. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

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.
to cool before you can slide the door latch.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot
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 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
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 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
fiberglass material 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 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
e
immediately.
t
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.
