Steam Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives
with the Steam Cleaning function.
The Steam Cleaning function is used to soften hard soiled
particles and make cleaning easier. Use the Steam Cleaning
function as soon as possible after spills occur. The longer a spill
sits and dries in the oven, the more difficult it may be to remove.
IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Cleaning function.
Press CANCEL at any time to end the cycle. The display will
return to the time of day.
To Use the Steam Cleaning Function:
1. Remove wire shelf and trays from the oven cavity.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Press ON/HOME.
4. Press the up or down buttons until “Maintenance” is selected
on the display, then press OK to confirm.
5. Press the up or down buttons until “Steam Cleaning” is
selected on the display, then press OK to confirm.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
7. Press START to begin the cleaning cycle.
Helpful Hints
■
Once the Steam Cleaning function is complete, remove all
remaining water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a
sponge or cloth.
■
Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior and
oven cavity interior sides.
■
Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
■
If any soil remains, run a second Steam Cleaning cycle to
help loosen debris for easier removal.
■
Use the Steam Cleaning on small spills such as cheese or
sauce from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.
■
Food spills containing sugar, proteins or starches may require
vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.

Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
Slight differences in color on the front of the oven are determined
by the different materials used, such as glass, plastic and metal.
Cleaning Method:
■
Clean with a damp cloth. If the exterior is heavily soiled, add a
few drops of liquid detergent to the water. Wipe with a dry
cloth.
■
Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaners, which dull the
surface. In the event that one of these products comes into
contact with the oven, immediately clean it using a damp
cloth.
CONTROL PANEL
To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive
cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper
towels.
Cleaning Method:
■
Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on
panel.

OVEN CAVITY
■
Do not use oven cleaners.
■
Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. To avoid
buildup of baked-on food residue, clean the oven cavity after
every use.
■
With long cooking times or when cooking on different levels,
especially food with a high water content (pizzas, stuffed
vegetables, etc.) moisture may form on the inside of the door
and the seal. When the oven is cool, dry the inside of the door
with a cloth or sponge.
■
Clean the glass of the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
■
Use a sponge with a mild detergent or a paper towel with
spray glass cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Do not spray glass cleaner directly into the oven.
■
If salts are deposited in the cooking compartment, rust could
develop. It is a good idea to clean the cooled down oven
cavity after each use.
■
Run the Steam Cleaning function regularly to aid and ease
the cleaning. See “Steam Cleaning” in the “Maintenance
Functions” section.
■
To avoid damage to the oven door, do not allow grease or
other food particles to build up around the door and door seal.
