#3 How do I Steam-Clean on my oven?
Quick Steam Clean: The steam clean process is a quick, simple way to clean light soil inside the oven. Steam cleaning allows you to save time and energy over the self-clean process, which should be used for heavier soil build up. Also on double ovens, unlike the self-clean process, the quick steam clean process may be performed on both ovens at the same time.
1. Remove the oven racks and all utensils from the oven.
2. Making sure the oven is cool, pour 1 1/2 cups of water (preferably distilled) into the recessed portion of the oven floor. For slightly heavier build up, you may mix a teaspoon of hand dishwashing soap into the water prior to pouring.
3. Fold a dish towel in half and insert the end (double thickness) between the door and the door gasket (right to left) to catch water that may dribble out during the process. Lay the rest of the towel just inside on the oven floor.
4. Close the oven door, touch the BAKE key, then set the oven to 185°F (85°C). Touch START (or START/CONTINUE on some models).
5. Set the timer for 20 minutes.
6. When the timer beeps, touch CANCEL · SECURE. Wait 10 minutes before opening the door. When you open the door, there will usually be a large amount of steam, condensation and some water inside.
7. Using a soapy sponge, wipe down the inside of the door window first. Then carefully sponge out the remaining water from the inside of the oven.
8. Scrub the inside of the oven with the soapy sponge until grease and soil is remove from the surfaces inside. Lime deposits can be removed with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
9. Make sure all surfaces are dry after cleaning by wiping down the oven with paper towels. Leave the door partially open to allow any left over condensation to escape.
