Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle safely.
Before You Start 1. Clean the shaded areas 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 frame around the oven. l the inside of the door, especially the part outside the oven seal. l the first 2-3 inches of oven near the door.
DO NOT clean the fiberglass seal. DO NOT move It or bend it. Poor cleaning and poor baklng will result. 2. Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can�t stand the heat.
3. Wipe out any loose soil or
grease. This will help reduce
smoke during the cleaning cycle.
4. If you want the oven racks to remaln 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). Durlng the Self-Cleaning Cycle they become harder to slide. See tips on page 18.

SPECIAL CAUTIONS:
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Damage to
the porcelain flnish may occur. DO NOT force the Lock Lever, you could bend or break It. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Walt until It moves freely. DO NOT use foil or other liners In the oven. Durlng the cleaning cycle foil can bum or melt and damage the oven surface.
