PREPARING THE OVEN FOR SELF-CLEANING

1. Remove all utensils and bake ware.
2. Remove non-porcelain oven racks.
IMPORTANT: If chromed racks are left in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle,
they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull, dark finish. See
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, plastic scrubber, or a detergent-filled
S.O.S. pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame and up to 11/2" (2 -
3 cm) inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not rub the oven gasket.
Clean the oven door window by hand. 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.
