Cleaning The Oven (Cont.)
How To Clean The Upper Oven Interior (Cont.)
Cooking Trays And Baking Sheet
To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely
before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or
in the dishwasher.
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they
may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad may
be used to clean the trays.
How To Clean The Lower Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces
cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or vinegar and water solution. 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.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils
from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom
of the oven. Close the door. Press the Options pad,
select Steam Clean, and then press Start. The oven
door will lock. You can not open the door during the
30 minute steam clean as this will decrease the steam
clean performance. At the end of the steam clean cycle
the door will unlock. Wipe out any excess water and any
remaining soil.
Flat Racks
(if enameled racks, not shiny) or can be washed with
warm, soapy water.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.

Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self-clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature.
Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease
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. Close the door. Press the Options pad, select
Self Clean, and a default self-clean time is displayed.
The clean time can be changed to 3:00, 4:00, or 5:00
ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended.
If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad
immediately after selecting the Self Clean. The oven
will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is
complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has
cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any
ash out of the oven.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
NOTE: Using other cooking oils 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.
