For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.
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.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside
the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by
hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled
steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
.
Rinse well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material
of the oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain
intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed,
replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
CAUTION:
The grates and drip
pans (if so equipped) should never be cleaned
in the self-cleaning oven.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before a Clean Cycle
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
