SELF/STEAM CLEAN
STEAM CLEAN
The Steam Clean feature is designed to use water and a lower temperature
than Self Clean to generate steam to warm the oven interior surfaces and
loosen light soils before hand-cleaning.
Before Starting Steam Clean
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before starting.
Remove all items from the oven, including oven racks.
Wipe any heavy spillovers or excess debris. Scrape off and remove any
burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper. (Suggested plastic scrapers
includes hard plastic spatula, plastic pan scraper, plastic paint scraper,
and old credit card.)
The range should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven
cavity is entirely covered by water at the beginning of the Steam Clean
cycle.
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave
mineral deposits on the surfaces.
For improved softening of tough stains, spray inside surfaces with water
spray bottle or wipe surfaces with a wet sponge before starting.
The Steam Clean cycle cannot be started if the Lock feature is active.
BURN HAZARD
Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance during the
cleaning cycle. The outside of the range can become very hot to the
touch.
During the cleaning cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to cause
burns. Wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of the
oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
Oven surfaces may be hot after the cleaning cycle. Use caution and
wear rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.
Hot surfaces may create hot steam in wet sponge or cloth while
cleaning. If steam is evident when wiping out oven, wait until oven has
cooled slightly.
