Using Steam Clean.
(on some models)
Remove racks and accessories from the
oven cavity. Do not place cookware or
other items in the oven during the Steam
Clean cycle.
Pour 1 cup (8 oz.) room-temperature water
onto the recessed area of the oven bottom.
Do not add cleaning solutions or chemicals
of any kind to the water. Only add water
when using the Steam Clean cycle. Do not
add water when using the Self-Clean cycle.
Close the door.
Press the STEAM CLEAN pad; then press
START.
The oven door locks automatically. A
30-minute cycle will begin to count down
on the display. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the cycle ends or
you press the CLEAR/OFF pad and the
door unlocks.
When the Steam Clean cycle is complete,
the door will unlock, the oven control will
beep, and the Steam Clean light will blink.
Press the CLEAR/OFF pad and open the
door.
The oven bottom and remaining water will
still be very warm at the end of the cycle.
This is normal.
Remove soils using a scrub brush or nylon
scouring pad. A soap-filled steel wool pad
may be used only on the porcelain oven
interior. The use of abrasive pads will
scratch the door glass. Do not wipe soil or
water onto the door gasket.
Remove any remaining water with a dry
cloth or sponge.
Leave the door open to air dry.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• If a steam clean cycle is initiated without
water, press the CLEAR/OFF pad to end the
cycle. Wait for the range to cool to room
temperature before pouring water into the
recessed area and initiating another steam
cycle.
• Do not open the door during the Steam
Clean cycle. An error beep will sound upon
opening the door.
• Press CLEAR/OFF pad at any time to end the
cycle.
• If mineral deposits remain in the oven
bottom after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge
soaked in vinegar to remove them.
• Some water may drip from the bottom of
the oven door. If this happens, wipe it up at
the end of the cycle.
• The door gasket may be wet when the
Steam Clean cycle finishes. This is normal.
Do not clean the gasket.
• If soil still remains after cleaning the oven,
see the Care and cleaning of the range
section of the Owner’s Manual for additional
options.
To Begin Steam Clean Cycle:
During the steam clean cycle,
the oven bottom becomes hot
enough to cause burns. Wait
until the cycle is over (30 minutes) before wiping the
inside surfaces of the oven. Failure to do so may result
in burns.
The Steam Clean cycle makes it easier to clean light soiling
off the standard-clean porcelain oven interior.
The range should be at room temperature before beginning
the Steam Clean cycle. If the oven is too hot, “hot” will
appear on the display and the cycle will not activate until the
oven cools down.
The Steam Clean cycle performs best on new spills
or soils. Burned-on food is more difficult to remove.
CAUTION
Pour 8 ounces of water onto the
oven floor.
