The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures

to automatically clean the oven interior. Do not force the oven

door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high

temperatures and be a burn hazard.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during

cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the

oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-

up of soii in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well

ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and

around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive

cleaned to prevent soil from baking

on during the clean cycle. (The

gasket is the seal around the oven

door and window}.

4. To prevent damage, do not clean or

rub the gasket around the oven
