SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
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.
CAUTION
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.
To set a Steam Clean cycle:
1. Remove all shelves, dishes and side racks.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debries and grease from
oven bottom.
3. Pour 1 cup of water into the cavity base well.
4. Close the door. Turn the oven mode knob to Steam
Clean and set the temperature to 250˚F.
5. Turn oven OFF after 18 minutes.
6. Allow oven to cool to a safe level before wiping
surface with a wet cloth.
7. 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.
8. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven
door gasket (figure 22). Avoid leaning or resting on
the oven door glass while cleaning cavity.
Notes:
• Opening the oven door during the steam clean
cycle prevents the water from reaching the tem-
perature needed to clean.
• For best results, clean oven immediately after the
cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils
on the oven bottom.
• 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.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to
capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
• 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 and the oven door glass.
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 cavi-
ty with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or
50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.
