The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.
CARE AND CLEANING:

Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water
and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils
from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom
of the oven. Close the door. Press the
Clean
pad twice
to select
Steam
and then press
Start/Enter
. The oven
door will lock. You can not open the door during the
30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam
clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle
the door will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and
any remaining soil.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and
soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other
than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks
and any cookware or other items should all be removed
from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close
the door. Press the
Self Clean
pad and a default self-
clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed
to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the
number pads to enter a different time and pressing
Enter
. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour
clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default
time, press the
Start/Enter
pad. The oven will turn off
automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete. The
door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After
the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand.
Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool
pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse well with
clean water and dry.
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
The surface units are automatically disabled during the
self-clean cycle. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished
to set and use the surface units.
To stop a self clean cycle press the
Cancel/Off
pad.
The door will unlatch once the oven has cooled below
the locking temperature. You will not be able to open the
door right away unless the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity
during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Oven Heating Elements
soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element is not exposed and is under the oven
floor. Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
