How to set the oven for steam-cleaning
For light cleaning, the steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavier-
duty cleaning, use the self-cleaning function.
NOTE
When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best
results.
NOTE
If you press Steam Clean when the oven temperature is above 100˚F, Hot will
appear in the display. Because this function produces the best results when started
while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled
down and Hot disappears from the display.

After a steam-cleaning cycle
•
Take care when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has
ended. The water on the bottom is hot.
•
Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not
leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven
clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door
seal.
•
Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the
oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove
lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
•
If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has
cooled.
•
For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend
that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning
function.
•
After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior
enamel surface to dry thoroughly.
