NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You
may get poor cleaning, baking and roasting.

Hand-clean the areas shown. 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 for cleaning.

Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door
and frame.

Remove the broiler pan and grid and any 
cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help 
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is
heated to a high temperature in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to
burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause
etching, pitting or faint white spots.

Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks
in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become
harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the
“Caring for Your Range” section.) If you clean the
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the
2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides are counted
from bottom to top.)

Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a
window or by turning on a vent hood or other 
kitchen vent during the cycle.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in
death to certain birds. Always move birds to another
closed and well ventilated room.

Keep

the kitchen well ventilated during the 

Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors,
and smoke.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. 
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.

Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning 
cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They 
may melt.

Remove any combustible items, such as paper
napkins, from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become 
overheated and melt. 

Do not leave any foil in the oven during the 
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and 
damage the oven surface.

The oven light will not work during the 
Self-Cleaning cycle.
