hour of the first bake cycle.
SOLUTION
This can be wiped clean with
a damp cloth.
Set the self-cleaning cycle for
a longer cleaning time. The
cycle was not long enough to
burn off the dirt buildup.
Extremely dirty ovens require
hand-cleaning of excessive
spillovers and food buildup
before starting a self-cleaning
cycle. Multiple self-cleaning
cycles may be necessary to
completely clean the oven.
The oven vent is located
there. More steam is visible
when using the convection
functions or when baking or
roasting multiple items at the
same time.
To speed the process, set
a self-cleaning cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. (See
pages 71 and 72.)
