Steam-cleaning
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.

1. Remove all accessories from the oven.
2. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water
onto the bottom of the empty oven and then
close the oven door.
Use normal water only, not distilled water.
3. Select Steam Clean using the dial knob.
4. Tap Start.
The oven door is locked automatically and the
oven begins to heat up.
When the operation is complete, the display
will blink and a beep will sound.
5. Tap Stop.
6. Clean the oven's interior.
There will be a significant amount of water
remaining on the bottom of the oven after a
steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the residual
water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.
NOTE
If you start 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.
