Don’t hand 
clean the 
oven door 
gasket.
You may 
hand clean 
the door.
•  We recommend venting your kitchen 
with an open window or using a 
ventilation fan or hood during the self-
cleaning cycle.
•  Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil 
pan insert, all cookware, and any 
aluminum foil from the oven.
•  Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. 
(Fig. 1)
•  The silver-colored oven racks can be 
self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose 
their luster, and become hard to slide.
•  Residue on the front frame of the range 
and outside the gasket on the door 
will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean 
these areas with hot water, soap-lled 
steel-wool pads, or cleansers, such as 
Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water 
and dry.
•  Do not clean the gasket. The berglass 
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, have 
it replaced. (Fig. 2)
•  Make sure the oven light bulb cover is 
in place and the oven light is off.
NOTE
Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.
