CARE AND CLEANING:,QWHULRU6XUIDFHV

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean mode or the Self Clean mode

(on some models).

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and

should be wiped up as soon as safely possible. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for use in

a self-cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid

cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning

powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild

Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When

cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room

temperature.

Steam Clean Mode

Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water

and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean. The

steam clean cycle is designed to sufficiently heat the

water added to the oven bottom at the beginning of the

steam clean cycle, so that it increases in temperature

and can then condense onto food soils, softening them

and making them easier to remove.

To use the Steam Clean feature, allow the oven to cool

so that you can wipe grease and soils from the oven

bottom and to avoid pouring cold water onto a hot oven

bottom to prevent possible thermal shock and enamel

You should not open the door during the 30 minute

steam clean as this will decrease the steam clean

performance. Wipe out any excess water and any

remaining soil.

NOTE: Water in the bottom of the oven may be hot right

after finishing the cycle.

Self Clean Mode (on some models)

Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean the

oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this

feature.

and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the

oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or

silver racks, and any cookware or other items should all

be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean

cycle. Failure to remove items other than enameled (dark

racks) can result in permanent discoloring of shiny racks

and damage to cookware.

Close the door.

and then press Start.

The oven door will lock for the duration of the self-clean

cycle and will unlock after the oven cavity has cooled

down adequately.

The surface units are automatically disabled during the

self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls

are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle.

Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use

the surface units.

Interior Surfaces

Oven Racks

All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. All oven

racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or

steel wool. Nickel-plated (silver) racks should not remain in

the oven during the self clean cycle. Doing so will tarnish the

racks. Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a

Steam Clean or a Self-Clean (on some models).

Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or paper towel and

rub onto the left and right edges of the racks.

other lubricant sprays, will cause a discoloring or a rust

like color residue on the racks and cavity sides. To clean

this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar and water

solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any

soil will burn off when the elements are heated. To clean

the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with

warm, soapy water.

Gently lift the bake element
