:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to the touch.

pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT
use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part
of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven
door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the
gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO
NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt
and damage the oven surface.

1. Remove any excess spillovers
in the oven cavity before starting
the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot soapy water and a cloth.
Large spillovers can cause smoke
or a fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow
food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface as they may
leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame
and the door liner (see illustration).
These areas heat sufficiently during
a self-clean to burn soil on. Clean
with hot soapy water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert,
all utensils and any foil. These items
can not withstand high cleaning
temperatures.
4. Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed. If they are not removed the self-
cleaning cycle can not start and Remove Racks will appear in the display indicating that
you must remove the racks and racks supports. When the cycle has finished and the
door can be opened replace the oven rack supports and oven racks.
