For heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean feature. CAUTION Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam Clean. Before 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. Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start. Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool oven To set a Steam Clean cycle: 1. Remove all racks and oven accessories. 2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven bottom. 3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.(Figure 21) Close oven door Figure 21: Add 1 cup of tap water 4. Press steam clean. 5. Press either the up arrow or down arrow to activate. St Cn will appear in the display. 6. The time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle is shown in the display. Do not open the door during this time.

Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning cavity. Note: To stop Steam Clean at amy time press OFF. Figure 22: Clean around the oven door gasket Notes: • Opening oven door during Steam Clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean. • For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom. • Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out. • A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use. • Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. • Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent or the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry. • Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water. • If steam clean results are not satisfactory, run a self clean.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time

saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of light soils.

For heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean feature.

Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam

Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature

a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start.

Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool

oven

To set a Steam Clean cycle:

Remove all racks and oven accessories.

Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven

bottom.

Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven

bottom.(

Figure 21

) Close oven door

Press

steam clean.

Press either the

up arrow

down arrow

to activate.

St Cn

will appear in the display.

The time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle is shown

in the display. Do not open the door during this time. If

door is open while in steam clean (d-O) will appear in

the display

When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will

sound and the END message will show in the display.

Press

OFF

to return to the clock. Press

OFF

at any time

to cancel Steam Clean.

Take care opening the door when the steam clean is

finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of

escaping vapor.

Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door

gasket (

Figure 22

). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven

door glass while cleaning cavity.

Note:

To stop Steam Clean at amy time press

OFF.

Notes:

•

Opening oven door during Steam Clean cycle prevents

the water from reaching the temperature needed to

clean.

•

For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle

is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the

oven bottom.

•

Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to

capture any water that may spill while wiping out.

•

A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge,

plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without

cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads

with water before use.

•

Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any

length of time.

•

Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to

the oven vent or the oven door glass. This is normal.

The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.

•

Local water sources often contain minerals (hard

water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a

50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of

lemon juice and water.

•

If steam clean results are not satisfactory, run a self

clean. See

“Self Clean”

page 30

Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other

abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam

Clean.

Before 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.
