RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

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 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, CANCEL UPPER or OFF at the end of the cycle. Cancel, Cancel Upper or Off 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. Additional AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

• Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.
• Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

Cleaning Method:

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

• Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain.

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING

Cleaning Method:

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.

• For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.
• Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.

Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.

2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas.

• Rub affresh® Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.
• Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.

3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

• Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.

The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order including the following:

• Cooktop Scraper
• Affresh® Cooktop Cleaner
• Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads

See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

COOKTOP CONTROLS

To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaner.

To avoid damage, do not soak knobs. When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

Cleaning Method:

• Soap and water: Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove

CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR

To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels.

• Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

OVEN RACKS

Cleaning Method:

• Steel-wool pad
• For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide
• Dishwasher (steam rack water reservoir only, not racks): Although the water reservoir is durable, it may lose its shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher

STORAGE DRAWER OR WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

Check that storage drawer or warming drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.

Cleaning Method:

• Mild detergent

BAKING DRAWER (on some models)

Check that baking drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

Cleaning Method:

• Mild detergent

OVEN CAVITY

Depending on your model, use AquaLift® Technology or SelfClean cycle regularly to clean oven spills.

Do not use oven cleaners

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

• Clean cycle: See “Clean Cycle” first.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REQUIREMENTS

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

• It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the oven door on the top right-hand side of the oven frame.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood or microwave hood combination that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• The range should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.
• Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of the sides and rear of the range.
• All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed must be sealed.
• Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
• The anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-tip bracket shipped with the range, see the “Install Anti-Tip Bracket” section.
• Grounded electrical supply is required. See the appropriate “Electrical Requirements” section.
• Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
• Use an insulated pad or 1/4" (6.4 mm) plywood under range if installing range over carpeting. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate, or sustain other damage. This oven has been designed in accordance with the requirements of UL and CSA International and complies with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F (90°C).

INSTALLATION

Unpack Range

1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range. Keep cardboard bottom under range. Do not dispose of anything until the installation is complete.

2. Remove oven racks and parts package from oven and shipping materials.

3. To remove cardboard bottom, first take 4 cardboard corners from the carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid on its back.

4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

5. Remove cardboard bottom. The leveling legs can be adjusted while the range is on its back. See the “Adjust Leveling Legs” section.

NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a sheet of cardboard or hardboard on the floor in front of range to protect the flooring. Using 2 or more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or hardboard.

Install Anti-Tip Bracket

1. Remove the anti-tip bracket from the inside of the oven.

2. Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall. If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile home, you must secure the range to the floor. This anti-tip bracket and screws can be used with wood or metal studs.

3. Determine and mark centerline of the cutout space. The mounting can be installed on either the left-side or right-side of the cutout. Position mounting bracket against the wall in the cutout so that the V-notch of the bracket is 121/2" (31.8 cm) from centerline as shown.

A. 121/2" (31.8 cm)
B. Bracket V-notch

4. Drill two 1/8" (3 mm) holes that correspond to the bracket holes of the determined mounting method. See the following illustrations.

Floor Mounting

Wall Mounting

5. Using the two #10 x 15/8" (4.1 cm) Phillips-head screws provided, mount anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.

6. Move range close enough to opening to allow for final electrical connections. Remove shipping base, cardboard or hardboard from under range.

7. Move range into its final location, making sure rear leveling leg slides into anti-tip bracket.

8. Move range forward onto shipping base, cardboard or hardboard to continue installing the range using the following installation instructions.

Adjust Leveling Legs

1. If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or pliers to loosen the four leveling legs.

This may be done with the range on its back or with the range supported on two legs after the range has been placed back to a standing position.

NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using two or more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or hardboard.

2. Measure the distance from the top of the counter to the floor.

3. Measure the distance from the top of the cooktop to the bottom of the leveling legs. This distance should be the same. If it is not, adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. The leveling legs can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A minimum of 3/16" (5 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip bracket.

NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing, tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, and then tilt forward to adjust the rear legs.

4. When the range is at the correct height, check that there is adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket. Before sliding range into its final location, check that the anti-tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation. NOTE: If a Trim Kit will be used, the top of the cooktop should be higher than the counter. See the Installation Instructions included with the Trim Kit for the correct height.
