(UpperOven)
1. Remove the broiler pan and grid,
utensils and any foil that may be
in the oven.
2. If your oven is equipped
with nickel oven racks, they
should be removed. If your

oven racks,
they may stay in the oven during
the self-clean cycle

5. Donot clean the door gasket. The
fiberglass materTal o f the oven door
gasket cannot withstand abrasion.
It is essentialfor the gasket to remain
intact. Ifyou notice Ttbecoming worn
or frayed, it should be replaced.
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5'-6' gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation.

It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the oven. This is due to
the gasket. The location of the gasket
on the door maintains a good seal and
prevents any heat loss.

left in the oven during a
self-clean cycle.
Nickel oven racks may be
cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, but will lose their luster
and become hard to slide. It you
choose to leave them in during
the cycle, wiping the edges down
with vegetable oil after the cycle
will help them slide easier.
Gray porcelain-coated oven
racks may safely be cleaned in
the oven during a self-clean
cycle. It will be necessary to
grease the edges of the oven
rack with a light costing of
vegetable oil after a clean cycle.
This will help maintain the ease
of sliding the racks in and out of
the oven.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened
window
or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor when heating new parts.
