cleaning oven), strong liquid cleansers, steel wool, or
scouring pads 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.
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 option, then
select Steam Clean , and press Start to the right of the
screen. The oven door will lock. You cannot 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.
NOTE: Water in the bottom of the
oven may be hot right after finishing the cycle.

Cancel pad to the right of the screen if you
wish to stop the cycle. The oven will turn off automatically
when the self clean cycle is complete. The door will stay

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 oven 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 cleaners such as Soft Scrub

clean water and dry.
