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 moved 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 re-
engage the Anti-Tip device, the range could tip and cause
serious injury.
Vent
Vent
Vent
•
The cooling vents are located at the
back of the oven range.
•
This area could become hot during oven
use.
•
It is normal for steam to come out of
the vent.
•
The vent is important for proper air
circulation.
Never block this vent.
Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim
•
For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot, soapy water.
•
For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly
onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these surfaces. They can scratch.
NOTE
When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best
results.
NOTE
If you press
Steam Clean
when the oven temperature is above 100˚F,
Hot
will
appear in the display. Because this function produces 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.
CAUTION
Wear the glove during cleaning.
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.
