EasyClean® INSTRUCTION GUIDE
1. Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.
2. Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a
plastic scraper.
Suggested plastic scrapers:
•
Hard plastic spatula
•
Plastic pan scraper
•
Plastic paint scraper
•
Old credit card
3. Fill a spray bottle with 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of
water and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray
the inside surfaces of the oven.
4. Use at least ¼ cup (2oz or 50 ml) of the water to
completely saturate the soil on both the walls and in
the corners of the oven.
5. Spray or pour the remaining 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml)
of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity.
The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully
covered to submerge all soils. Add water if necessary.
Use the "mist" setting on the spray bottle for better
coverage. The entire 1¼ cup (10oz or 300 ml) of water
should be used for each oven cavity cleaned.
Do not spray water directly on the door. Doing so will
result in water dripping to the floor.
NOTE
6. Close the oven door.
Turn the Oven Mode knob to select the EasyClean®
mode.
Press START.
•
Some surfaces may be hot after the EasyClean®
cycle.Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to
prevent burns.
•
During the EasyClean® cycle, the oven bottom
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.
•
Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass
while cleaning the oven cavity.
CAUTION
7. A tone will sound at the end of the 10-minute cycle.
adjust the Oven Mode knob to OFF position to clear
the display and end the tone.
8. After the cleaning cycle and during hand-cleaning,
enough water should remain on the oven bottom to
completely submerge all soils. Add water if necessary.
Place a towel on the floor in front of the oven to
capture any water that may spill out during hand-
cleaning.
9. Clean the oven cavity immediately after the
EasyClean® cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-
scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring side
will not scratch the finish.) Some water may spill into
the bottom vents while cleaning, but
it will be captured in a pan under
the oven cavity and will not hurt the
burner.
DO NOT use any steel scouring pads, abrasive pads or
cleaners as these materials can permanently damage
the oven surface.
NOTE
10. Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any excess
water with a clean dry towel. Replace racks and any
other accessories.
11. If some light soils remain, repeat the above steps,
making sure to thoroughly soak the soiled areas.
If stubborn soils remain after multiple EasyClean®
cycles, run the Self Clean cycle. Be sure that the
oven cavity is empty of oven racks and other
accessories, and that the oven cavity surface is dry
before running the Self Clean cycle. Consult the Self
Clean section of your owner’s manual for further
details.
•
If you forget to saturate the inside of the oven with
water before starting EasyClean®, turn the Oven
Mode knob to the OFF position to end the cycle.
Wait for the oven to cool to room temperature and
then spray or pour water into the oven and start
another EasyClean® cycle.
•
The cavity gasket may be wet when the EasyClean®
cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the
gasket.
•
If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom
after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in
vinegar to remove them.
