Steam Clean The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning on models that have hidden bake in both ovens. Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity. For best results, use 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water. Do not use oven cleaners. The Steam Clean feature will take approximately 1 hour. A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle. Touch the Oven Cancel keypad for single oven models and the Upper/Lower keypads for double oven models at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day. Helpful Hints ■■ Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete and the oven is completely cooled, remove all remaining water in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth. ■■ Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven cavity interior sides, and cooktop. ■■ Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. This may help with more stubborn stains. ■■ It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle. ■■ If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Cleaning cycle. The Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the debris, resulting in a more effective self-cleaning. To Steam Clean: 1. Open the oven door of the selected oven and remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity. 2. Pour 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water into the oven bottom. Then close the oven door. 3. Touch the Tools keypad. (On double-oven models) Select Upper Cavity or Lower Cavity. 4. Select STEAM CLEAN. 5. Select START. 6. After approximately 1 hour, a tone will sound to signal the end of the cycle. Touch the keypad for single oven models and the keypads for double oven models to clear the display. 7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove any excess water with a sponge or cloth and wipe down oven interior. If needed, use a non-scratch copper scrubbing pad to remove stubborn soils. General Cleaning IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. For additional information, you can visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of our website at www.whirlpool.com. In Canada, refer to the Customer Service section at www.whirlpool.ca. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models) Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire oven is cool. These spills may affect the finish. Cleaning Method: ■■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers. ■■ Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the "Accessories" section for more information.
