RANGE MAINTENANCE AND
CARE
Steam Clean
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives
with Steam Clean.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom
cleaning. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as possible after
spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the oven, the more
difficult it may be to remove.
Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C),
“HOT” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean feature will
not activate until it cools down.
� Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
� For best results, pour 12 oz (355 mL) of distilled or filtered
water onto the oven bottom.
� The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 50 minutes. “End”
will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press the Cancel keypad at any time to end the cycle. The display
will return to the time of day.
Helpful Hints
� Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining
water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or
cloth.
� Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven
cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
� Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
� If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help
loosen debris for easier removal.
� Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce
from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.
� Food spills containing sugar, proteins or starches may require
vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.
� It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a
cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any
mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
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.

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.

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.
