52 MAINTENANCE 8 Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace racks and any other accessories. 9 If some light soils remain, repeat the above steps, making sure to thoroughly soak the soiled areas. If stubborn soils remain after multiple EasyClean® cycles, run the Self Clean cycle. Be sure that the oven cavity is empty of oven racks and other accessories, and that the oven cavity surface is dry before running the Self Clean cycle. Consult the Self Clean section of your owner's manual for further details. NOTE •• The cavity gasket may be wet when the EasyClean® cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the gasket. •• If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar to remove them. •• It is normal for the fan to operate during the EasyClean® cycle. •• It is normal to hear the sound of boiling water from the steam generator while running the EasyClean® cycle. Water Tank The water tank is used during the steam cooking functions. Use filtered, softened water if possible. NOTE •• After using the steam function, the water tank should be drained. To avoid bacteria or odors, clean and dry the water tank after every use. •• Do not clean in a dishwasher. Hard Water Scale If hard water is used in the water tank, the steam generator may become clogged with hard water scale. In areas with hard water, run the Descaling function frequently or use softened water. Cleaning Scale on Oven Bottom To remove mineral deposits that remain on the oven bottom after using the steam mode, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid solution. For more stubborn or extensive scaling, use the Descaling function. Descaling Use this function to remove the white deposits that form after the steam generator is used for a long period. The Descaling function runs for 1 hour 43 minutes. Water will come out of the steam generator while it is being cleaned. For instructions on removing and filling the water tank, see "Using the water tank." Using Descaling 1 Fill the water tank with a 20:1 mixture of water and citric acid. For example, use 4 tsp of citric acid in 41/4 cups water (20 g citric acid in 1000 ml water). 2 Insert the water tank into the slot over the oven cavity and push it in until it clicks into place. 3 Touch More Mode. 4 Touch 4 to select DESCALING. 5 After a few minutes of descaling, TO START RINSING, REPLACE THE WATER IN WATER TANK WITH CLEAN WATER AND PRESS START will appear in the display. Following the instructions, drain the tank and fill it with clean water. 6 Insert the tank and start the Rinsing function. 7 Once the Rinsing function is complete, dry the inside of the oven with a soft cloth. NOTE •• The Rinsing function must be completed even if the Descaling function is canceled. •• For proper oven maintenance, run the entire Descaling function without cancellation. •• The Rinsing function must be completed even if the Descaling function is canceled. •• Descaling cannot be canceled while setting, resetting, or pausing the upper oven.
