Using the Self-Cleaning cycle (single/upper oven)
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely. NOTE: The lower oven will not operate while the upper oven is being cleaned. Before you start 1. Clean the areas shown by hand. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel wool pad on... l The inside of the door. (The center area of the door does not need to be hand cleaned.) l The frame around the oven. Do not clean, move or bend the fiberglass seal. Poor cleaning and poor baking will result. 2. Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have stored in the oven. NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven only if most of the soil has been removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. The chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle. 3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle. NOTE: The bottom element is hinged for easier cleaning of the cavity floor. It must be in the down position before beginning the Self-Cleaning cycle. 4. If you want the oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean them by hand. Otherwise, put oven racks on second and fourth guides (guides are counted from bottom to top). After racks are cleaned in the SelfCleaning cycle, they become harder to slide. See page 28. NOTE: The smoke eliminator will handle the normal flow of odors during the Self-Cleaning cycle. However, minor smoke may be noticed when soil build-up is heavy. Also, some smoke may appear during the very first Self-Cleaning cycle due to burn-off of binders in oven insulation. To help remove additional smoke, heat and odors turn on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
