Burn Hazard

BEFORE YOU START
NOTES:
• 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.
• DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You
may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.
• The oven light will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
• The console night light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning
cycle.
Before you start the Self-Cleaning
cycle, make
sure you:
• 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 and/or milk
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 staining and etching or
pitting.
• 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, p. 40.) 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.)

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