PREPARING THE OVEN FOR SELF-CLEAN
1. Remove all utensils and bake ware.
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. Review illustration below. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand
before the cycle begins. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle
for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a detergent-

1-½ “ (2-3 cm) inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not rub the
gasket on oven. Clean by hand the oven door window. Rinse all areas thoroughly
then dry.
5. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are
in place.
