IMPORTANT
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions :
• Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior. Do not clean the
oven door gasket. Take care not to rub, damage, or
remove the gasket or use any cleaning substances on
the oven door gasket (See Figure 36 ). Doing so could
cause damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven’s
performance.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, door liner outside
the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom with soap and water (See
Figure 36 ). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil
on.
• Remove any excessive spills from the oven cavity
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can
cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. Do not allow food spills with a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• Do not use aluminum foil or liners in the oven. These
items are not made to withstand the very high
temperatures of a self-clean cycle and will melt.
• Remove all oven racks and accessories. If oven racks
are not removed before a self-clean, they will lose their
special coating and will no longer slide in and out of
the oven cavity effortlessly.
• Oven racks accidentally left in the oven during self
clean may be wiped down after cooling with a high-
temperature cooking oil to lubricate them.

Setting Self-Clean Cycle Duration

are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle

oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
A 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to
complete.
It is recommended to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light
soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils.
