BEFORE SELF-CLEANING
1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
2. Remove non-porcelain oven racks. If chromed racks are left in the oven during
the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a
dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.
3. Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels. Excess grease will
cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.
4. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are
in place.
5. Some areas of the oven such as the oven door edge, oven door window, oven
front frame and up to 1½" (2-3 cm) inside the frame do not get hot enough
during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away and must be cleaned by hand
BEFORE the cycle begins. Clean using a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber and a
solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry all areas thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not rub the oven door gasket.
