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
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
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.
Steam Clean Mode (on some models)
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
Steam Clean
pad
and then press
Start
. 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.

Porcelain Oven Interior (on some models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the
inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside
of the door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We recommend that
you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild
abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be
used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot
even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier.
Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container
in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help
loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the
package directions.
