SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Steam clean The steam clean feature offers a chemical-free and time-saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of your oven. Steam clean may be used before manually cleaning the oven to help loosen soils on the oven bottom. CAUTION Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any other household cleaners or chemicals to the water used in the steam clean cycle. Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns. To set a steam clean cycle: 1. Oven should be at room temperature. If the oven temperature is above the room temperature, steam clean will not start. Be sure the oven is cool. Remove all racks and oven accessories. 2. Scrape or wipe loose debris from the oven bottom. 3. Pour 8 oz (235 ml) distilled or filtered water onto the oven bottom (see figure 1). Close the oven door. 8. When steam clean cycle is complete, stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor when opening the oven door. The cycle includes a cool-down period, so you may immediately use a soft cloth or sponge to remove any remaining water. 9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket. Figure 1: Add 8 ounces of distilled water. 4. Press Steam Clean. StCn will show in the display (see figure 2). Figure 2: Steam clean selected 5. Press Start. 6. Steam clean is a 20 minute cycle. Time remaining is shown in the display. 7. An alert will sound at the end of the cycle, and the End message will show in the display. Press Off to return to the clock. Figure 3: Clean around the oven door gasket. For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom. Removal of especially stubborn or bakedon soils may require a manual cleaning. See instructions in the "Cleaning various parts of your wall oven" section. Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry. Open door and allow to air dry. Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water) and will leave deposits on the oven cavity. If this occurs, wipe cavity with vinegar or lemon juice. Use distilled or filtered water. If the door is opened during the steam clean cycle, a beep will sound and d-0 will show in the display. Close the oven door. Keep oven door closed during steam clean cycle. Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delay start. If steam clean results are not satisfactory, run a self clean. 21
