Safety Instructions Using the self-cleaning oven. The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Before a Clean Cycle Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood. Remove racks, any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven. The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Soil on the front frame of the oven and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled scrubbing pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry. Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
