Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water,
rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish.
Oven Exterior
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or
cleaning powders on the interior or exterior 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 and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish read the
Assistance and Accessories sections at the beginning of
this manual.
Flat Racks
Flat racks can be left in the cavity during self-clean
(if enameled racks, not shiny) or can be washed with
warm, soapy water.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the 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
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
pad
twice
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.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and
soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other
than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks
and any cookware or other items should all be removed
from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close
the door. Press the
Clean
pad once and a default self-
clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed
to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the
number pads to enter a different time and pressing
Start
.
For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time
is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press
the
Start
pad immediately after pressing the
Clean
pad.
The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean
cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven
has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe
any ash out of the oven.
