Clean Cycle
AquaLift ® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that
utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in
less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat,
odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean
cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), it will appear in
the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven
cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity, and
wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily
removed soils.
2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto
the bottom of the empty oven, and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the
water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The
water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press CLEAN or AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then Start on
the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press Cancel at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be pressed
at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge
or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much
of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain in the
oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain,
leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist
with the cleaning.
7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing
sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run
to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of
chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal
scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the
porcelain surface of the oven interior.
NOTES:
�
The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface
of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the Clean cycle.
�
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water
may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
�
Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at
the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel
between the lower edge of the oven door and the front
frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the
range and the floor.
�
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
�
Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven
cavity walls, oven door and oven bottom for difficult soils.
For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before
use.
�
Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
�
Affresh ® Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh ® Cooktop
Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and
door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to
room temperature. If affresh ® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it
is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water
as well. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering
information.
