Setting Oven Controls 35
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.
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.
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 2 cups of tap water onto the upper or lower oven
bottom. (Figure 31) Close oven door.
4. Press UPPER or LOWER OVEN.
5. Press steam clean.
6. Press START.St C will appear in the display.
When steam clean is operating, the display will show the time of
day. To see the time remaining in the steam clean cycle press
cook time once.
Do not open the door during this time. If door is open while in
steam clean (d-O) will appear in the display.
When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and
the END message will show in the display.
Press CANCEL to return to the clock.
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.
Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket
(Figure 36). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass
while cleaning cavity.
To cancel steam clean at any time press CANCEL.
Notes:
•Opening oven door during steam clean cycle prevents the
water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.
•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 33.
