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 is equipped
with gray porcelain-coated oven
racks, they may stay in the oven
during the self-clean cycle.
3. Soil on the front frame and outside the
gasket on the door liner will need to
be cleaned by hand.
Front Frame
The gasket is designed to have an
18" gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
Door Liner
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,

soap-filled pads or cleansers such as Soft

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, it should be replaced.

be left in the oven
during a clean cycle.
Nickel oven racks may
be cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, but will lose their luster
and become hard to slide. If you
choose to leave them in during
the cycle, wiping them 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 coating 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 produced when heating
new parts.
