Steam Clean
Steam cleaning works best for spot cleaning and light soils on
the oven bottom.
Steam clean may also be used before manu-
ally cleaning the oven or before Self Clean to help loosen soils
on the oven bottom.
Do not set the cleaning temperature higher than
the temperature listed in these instructions. Higher temperatures
will dry the steam too soon and may lead to burns or serious
injury when cleaning.
Do not attempt to wipe out the oven before the
cooling off period or attempt to shorten the cooling off period.
Doing so may lead to burns or other serious injury when
cleaning.
Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any
other household cleaners or chemicals to the water used for
steam cleaning.

Important notes:
•
Always stay close to the oven when steam cleaning, so you
can hear the timer alert.
•
For best results, wipe out oven immediately after the cool-
down period is complete.
•
Removal of especially stubborn or baked-on soils may
require a manual cleaning or a self clean cycle. See
“Setting Self Clean”
on
page 24
.
•
Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to
the oven vent, and some water may remain on the oven
bottom. This is normal. Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge
when the cool-down period is complete.
•
The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.
Open door to broil position and allow to air dry.
•
Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water) and
will leave deposits on the oven cavity surfaces. If this occurs,
wipe cavity surfaces with diluted vinegar or lemon juice.
Use distilled or filtered water.
•
If the door is opened during steam cleaning or cool-down
period, steam will escape and the oven may be more
difficult to clean. Keep oven door closed during steam
cleaning.
