SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time
saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and
light soils. For heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean
feature.
Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam
Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature
a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start.
Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool
oven
To set a Steam Clean cycle:
1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven
bottom.
3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.
(
Figure 22) Close oven door.
4. Press Steam Clean.
5. Press OK/START. St C will appear in the display.
6. To see time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle press
Steam Clean key. The time left will show in the display
for 6 seconds before returning to the time of day. If door
is open during Steam Clean for more than 4 minutes, d-
O will appear in the display and the display will sound a
triple beep until the door is closed.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will
sound and the END message will show in the display.
Press OFF to return to the clock.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is
finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of
escaping vapor.
9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door
gasket (
Figure 23). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven
door glass while cleaning cavity.
10. To cancel Steam Clean at any time press OFF.
Important: Opening oven door during Steam Clean cycle
prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed
to clean. If the door is left open once Steam Clean starts, an
alarm will sound alerting you to close the door.
• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle
is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the
oven bottom.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to
capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
• A non abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge,
plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without
cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads
with water before use.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any
length of time.
• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to
the oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may
become damp; do not wipe dry.
• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard
water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a
50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of
lemon juice and water.
• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delay start.
• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self
Clean. See
“Self Clean” on page 30.
Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other
abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam
Clean. Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all
controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven
may be hot and can cause burns.
