6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge
or cloth immediately after the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete.
Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain
in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils
remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to
assist with the cleaning.
7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing
sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Self-Cleaning cycles may
be run to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals,
including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads,
may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the
oven interior.
NOTES:
The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface
■
of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the Self-Cleaning cycle.
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may
■
leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the
■
end of the Self-Cleaning cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel
between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame
to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the
floor.
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
■
difficult to remove with the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads
■
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity
walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best
results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
Run an additional Self-Cleaning cycle for stubborn soils.
