Special l l l l tips Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge. Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

Cleaning your oven whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new. Cleaning Electrical Shock Hazard Make sure all controls are OFF and the oven is cool before cleaning. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns. chart Use the following table to help you clean your oven.
