Steam Clean
The steam clean feature offers a chemical-free and time-
saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of your oven.
Steam clean may be used before manually cleaning the
oven to help loosen soils on the oven bottom.
To set a steam clean cycle:
1. Oven should be at room temperature. Remove all racks
and oven accessories.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debris from the oven bottom.
3. Pour 8 oz (235 ml) distilled or filtered water onto the
oven bottom. Close the oven door.
4. Press steam clean. StC will show in the display.
5. Press start.
6. If the door is not completely closed a door open mes-
sage (d-O) will appear and the steam clean will not start
until the door is fully closed. The door should remain
closed during the steam clean operation.
7. Steam clean is a 20 minute cycle. Remaining time will
show in the display. An alert tone will sound at the end
of the steam clean cycle. Press off to return display to
the clock.
8. When the steam clean cycle is over, stand to the side of
the door to avoid any steam escaping the oven. The
cycle includes a cool down period allowing you to imme-
diately use a soft cloth or sponge to remove any remain-
ing water. Wipe oven cavity bottom. Do not clean the
oven door gasket (Figure 16).
To turn steam clean off at any time, press off.
Important:
• For best results, clean oven immediately after cycle is
complete.
• Steam clean works best for soils on oven bottom. For
removal of baked on soils oven may require a deeper
cleaning. See Self Cleaning Operation (page 24).
• It is normal if some water vapor or condensation
appears close to the oven vent. Wipe with soft cloth or
sponge when steam clean cycle is complete.
• The oven gasket may become damp. Do not wipe dry.
Open door and allow gasket to air dry.
• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a Delay Start.
• If the door is opened during the steam clean cycle, a
beep will sound and d-O will appear in the display. Keep
oven door closed during the Steam Clean cycle.
• Local water sources can contain minerals (hard water)
and will leave deposits on the oven cavity. If this occurs,
wipe cavity with vinegar or lemon juice.
• For best results use only distilled or filtered water in a
Steam Clean cycle.
Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any other
household cleaners or chemicals to the water used in the
steam clean cycle.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sur all
controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
