STEAM-CLEANING
How to set the oven for steam-cleaning
Steam-cleaning saves time and energy for light cleaning. For heavier-duty cleaning of debris and
grease, use the self-cleaning function.
1
. Remove all accessories from the oven.
2
. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water onto the bottom of
the empty oven and close the oven door.
Use normal water only, no distilled water.
. Press the
STEAM CLEAN
pad.
. Press the
SET/START
pad.
When the operation is complete, the display will blink and a beep
will sound.
5
. Press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
. Clean the oven’s interior.
There will be a signifi cant amount of water remaining on the
bottom of the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the
residual water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.
When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best results.
If you press the
STEAM CLEAN
pad when the oven temperature is above 100˚F,
Hot
will
appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started while
the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot
disappears from the display.
After a steam-cleaning cycle
Take care when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has ended; the water on
the bottom is hot.
Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual
water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean and dry with a soft cloth (do not
forget to wipe under the oven door seal).
Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth
soaked in vinegar.
If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has cooled.
For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend that you rub
detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning function.
After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior enamel surface to dry
thoroughly.
