Care and Cleaning
After the self clean cycle is complete:
• The door latch will release when the inside has cooled
down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON” will disap-
pear from the display. Exercise caution because the
oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the
door lock is released.
• Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before
using your oven.
• You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom
of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a
damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the
oven cools down.
Self Cleaning Tips
• If any soil remains in the oven after the self clean
cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.
• Self clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil
build-up. Doing so will make the self clean cycle work
better and reduce smoke and odors.
Setting the Oven to Self Clean at a Later Time
1. Prepare the oven for self cleaning as instructed on
page 21. Observe all safety precautions and remove
all items listed from inside the oven. Clean the door
gasket and around the door as instructed.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Touch the SELF CLEAN key.
4. Touch the START TIME key.
5. Enter the desired start time. For example, touch 1-2-
3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours
and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.
6. Touch START
·
CONTINUE.
7. When you touch START, “Delay” will appear on the
display and the oven door will lock. The oven will start
to self clean at the time you have selected.
While the oven is set to clean at a later time:
• If you want the display to return to the clock, you
may touch the CLOCK key.
• If the clock is displayed, you may touch the START
TIME key to check the self clean start time.
• When self clean starts, “Delay” will disappear and
“ON” will appear on the display.
To cancel the time delayed self clean cycle:
• Touch CANCEL
·
SECURE.
• If the self clean process has not started, allow about
a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to
use the oven.
• If the oven is in the middle of the self clean process,
the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down
enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot
(about 400 °F).
Quick Steam Clean
The steam clean process is a quick, simple way to clean
light baked-on spills inside the oven. Steam cleaning
allows you to save time and energy over the self-clean
process, which should be used for heavier build up.
Steam cleaning double ovens at the same time can be
done. However, if self-cleaning must be done, the double
ovens cannot be done at the same time. Each oven must
be cleaned in its own cycle.
WARNING
• To avoid steam burns, do not pour water into the
oven when it is hot.
• The water remaining inside the oven will still be
hot to the touch when the door is opened after the
cleaning process.
• Do not heat the oven with a temperature higher
than 185°F (85°C) .
1. Make sure the oven is cool before you begin.
2. Remove the oven racks and all utensils from the oven.
3. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water (preferably distilled) into the
recessed portion of the oven floor.
For slightly heavier build up: mix a teaspoon of liquid
dishwashing soap into the water, then pour it onto the
oven floor.
4. Insert a dish towel
into the gap where
the oven and the
oven door meet.
(This is to catch
water that may
dribble out.) Lay
the rest of the towel
inside, spread on
the oven floor.
5. Close the oven
door, touch the BAKE key, then set the oven to 185°F
(85°C). Touch START.
6. Set the timer (see page 10) for 20 minutes.
7. When the timer beeps, touch CANCEL · SECURE.
8. 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.
9. Take a soapy sponge and wipe down the inside of the
door window. Then carefully sponge out the remaining
water from the inside of the oven.
10. Scrub the inside of the oven with the soapy sponge
until grease and burnt debris is removed from the
inside. Lime deposits can be removed with a cloth
soaked in white vinegar.
11. Make sure all surfaces are dry by wiping down the
oven with paper towels. Leave the door partially open
to allow any remaining condensation to escape.
Repeat this process when burnt-on food begins to build up
inside the oven.
