Maintaining your appliance
NOTE
If you press
Steam Clean
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.
Care and cleaning of the oven
WARNING
Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any part of
the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing, or any
reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged properly
when the range is replaced. If you fail to reengage the Anti-
Tip device, the range could tip and cause serous injury.
After a self-cleaning cycle
•
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth
after the oven cools. (If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.)
•
If the oven is not clean after one cycle, repeat the cycle.
•
You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door
to unlock.
Steam-cleaning
How to set the oven for steam-cleaning
For light cleaning, the Steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavier-
duty cleaning, use the self-cleaning function.

Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of
water onto the bottom of the empty
oven and close the oven door.
Use normal water only, not distilled
water.
3.
Press
Steam Clean
.
4.
Press
START/SET

When the operation is complete, the
display will blink and a beep will sound.

Clean the oven’s interior.
There will be a significant 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.
NOTE
When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best
results.
