How can I help keep children safe around the
range?
Children should be supervised around the range
whenever it is in use, and after use until surfaces
have cooled. You can also use the Lockout feature to
help prevent children from accidentally turning on the
cooktop or oven. The Lockout feature disables most
control panel buttons and the cooktop control knobs.
On some models, it also locks the oven door.
Consult the Lockout section of your owner's manual
for details. (In models without a self-clean option, the
Lockout feature locks the controls but does not lock
the oven door.)
My range is still dirty after running the
®
EasyClean
cycle. What else should I do?
®
The EasyClean
cycle only helps to loosen light soils
in your oven range to assist in hand-cleaning of your
oven. It does not automatically remove all soils after
the cycle. Some scrubbing of your oven range is
required after running the EasyClean
I tried scrubbing my oven after running
®
EasyClean
, but some soils still remain. What can
I do?
®
The EasyClean
feature works best when the soils
are fully soaked and submerged in water before
running the cycle and during hand-cleaning. If soils
are not sufficiently soaked in water, it can negatively
affect the cleaning performance. Repeat the
®
EasyClean
process using sufficient water.
Sugar-based and certain greasy soils are especially
hard to clean. If some stubborn soils remain, use the
Self Clean feature to thoroughly clean your oven.
If a self-clean feature is not available, use a scraper
to remove stubborn soil.
Soils on my oven walls are not coming off. How
can I get my walls clean?
Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven range
may be more difficult to fully soak with water. Try

process with more than

Will EasyClean
get all of the soils and stains out
completely?
It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain
grease stains are especially hard to clean. Also, if
stains are not sufficiently soaked in water, this can
negatively affect cleaning performance. If stubborn
or built-up stains remain, use the Self Clean feature.
Refer to the Self Clean section of your owner's
manual.
Some models do not include a self-clean option. The
EasyClean
®
feature may not be effective in removing
heavy, built up soil. If a self-clean option is not
available, it may help to use EasyClean
to avoid heavy soil build up.
Are there any tricks to getting some of the
stubborn soils out?
Scraping the soils with a plastic scraper before and
during hand cleaning is recommended. If using a metal
scraper, be careful not to damage the oven surface.
Fully saturating soils with water is also recommended.
Certain types of soil are harder to clean than others.
For these stubborn soils, use the Self Clean cycle.
Consult the Self Clean section of the owner's manual
for details.
Is it safe for my convection fan, broil burner or
heater element to get wet during EasyClean
Yes. The convection fan, broiler burner or heater
element may get a little wet during cleaning. However,
direct spray onto the broil burner and heater elements
is not necessary because these are self-cleaning
during regular use.
Do I need to use the full contents of the spray
bottle for EasyClean
®
cycle.
Yes. It is highly recommended that
sprayed or poured on the bottom and an additional
1/5 of water be sprayed on walls and other soiled
areas to fully saturate the soils for better cleaning
performance.
I see smoke coming out of my oven range's
cooktop vents during EasyClean
This is normal. This is not smoke. It is actually water
vapor (steam) from the water in the oven cavity. As
the oven heats briefly during EasyClean
in the cavity evaporates and escapes through the
oven vents.
How often should I use EasyClean
EasyClean
However, if a self-clean option is not available on your
oven, you may want to use the EasyClean
often to prevent heavy, burnt-on soil from building up.
EasyClean
soiled from such things as LIGHT grease splatter
and small drops of cheese. Please refer to the
EasyClean
information.
What is required for EasyClean
A spray bottle filled with water, a scraper, a
nonscratch scrubbing pad and a towel. You should
not use abrasive scrubbers such as heavy-duty
scouring pads or steel wool.
