Steam Clean (On Some Models); General Cleaning - Whirlpool WOS51E Guide D'utilisation

Steam Clean
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives
with Steam Clean.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom
cleaning. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as possible after
spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the oven, the more
difficult it may be to remove.
Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C),
"Oven Cooling" will appear in the display and the Steam Clean
feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, pour 10 oz (295 mL) of distilled or filtered
water onto the oven bottom.
The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 25 minutes. "Wipe
the oven" will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press CANCEL at any time to end the cycle. The display will
return to the time of day.
For double ovens, only one oven can run Steam Clean at a time.
When running Steam Clean, the other oven should not be in use.
Helpful Hints
Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all
remaining water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a
sponge or cloth.
Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven
cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help
loosen debris for easier removal.
Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce
from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.
Food spills containing sugar, proteins or starches may require
vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.
It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a
cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any
mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Clean cycle. The
Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the
debris, resulting in a more effective self-clean.
