Prepare the Oven Before
Setting the Controls
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 self-clean
cycle temperature may darnage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
Step 1: Remove the broiler pan,
broiler rack, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the
they can’t withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
Step 2: Clean spatters or soil on
the oven front frame (A), under the
front edge of the maintop, the door
– liner outside the door gasket and
the front edge of the oven cavity
(about 1“ into the oven). Use
detergent and hot water with a
soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a
brown residue from forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth.
●
Do not let water rundown through
openings in the top of the door (B).

Step 3: Clean the oven door gasket
(C) with hydrogen peroxide, using a
clean sponge to soak the soiled area.
Repeated soaking may be needed
depending on the amount of soil.
Frequent cleaning will prevent
excessive soil build up.
Do not rub the door gasket—the
fiberglass material of the gasket has
an extremely low resistance to
abrasion. Any cotton material
especially (including
can easily rub a hole into the seal.
An intact and well-fitting oven door
gasket is essential for
efficient oven operation and good
baking results.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any
way or if it has
displaced
on the door, you should replace it.
Step 4: Clean top, sides and
outside front of oven door with
soap and water. Do not use
abrasives or oven cleaners.
Step 5: Make sure the oven light
bulb cover (D) is in place.
Step 6: Close the oven door and
make sure the oven light is off. You
are now ready to begin the
clean cycle.
●
Oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However,
they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide. Wipe
shelf supports with cooking oil
after each self-cleaning cycle to
make shelves slide more easily.
