66 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• It may become necessary to cancel or interrupt a
Self Clean cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in
the oven. To cancel the Self Clean function, touch
Stop in the display.
During Self Clean
• The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot
temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While
running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice
smoking or an odor. This is normal, especially if
the oven is heavily soiled.
• As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal
and will not damage the oven.
• Do not force the oven door open when the lock
is displayed. The oven door remains locked
k
until the oven temperature has cooled. Forcing
the door open will damage the door.
After the Self Clean Cycle
• The oven door remains locked until the oven
temperature has cooled.
• You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it off with a damp cloth or a soap-filled pad
after the oven cools. If the oven is not clean after
one self-clean cycle, repeat the cycle.
• If oven racks were left in the oven and do not
slide smoothly after a self-clean cycle, wipe racks
and rack supports with a small amount of
vegetable oil to make them glide more easily.
• Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it
went through heating and cooling. This is
normal and will not affect performance.

Cleaning the Steam Feeder Tank

The steam feeder tank is used during the steam
cooking functions. Use filtered, softened water if
possible.
NOTE
• After using the steam function, the steam feeder
tank should be drained. To avoid bacteria or
odors, clean and dry the steam feeder tank after
every use.
• Do not clean in a dishwasher.
• If the steam feeder tank does not slide in as
smoothly as it should, clean the bottom of the
tank.
Hard Water Scale
If hard water is used in the steam feeder tank, the
steam generator may become clogged with hard
water scale. In areas with hard water, run the
Descaling function frequently or use softened
water.
Cleaning Scale on Lower Oven
Bottom
To remove mineral deposits that remain on the
oven bottom after using the steam mode, use a
cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar or a weak citric
acid solution. For more stubborn or extensive
scaling, use the Descaling function.
Descaling
Use this function to remove the white deposits
that form after the steam generator is used for a
long period.
The Descaling function runs for 1 hour 43 minutes.
Water will come out of the steam generator while
it is being cleaned.
For instructions on removing and filling the steam
feeder tank, see "Using the Steam Feeder Tank."
Setting Descaling
1
Fill the steam feeder tank with a 20:1 mixture
of water and citric acid. For example, use 4 tsp
of citric acid in 4 1/4 cups water (20 g citric
acid in 1000 ml water).
2
Insert the steam feeder tank into the slot over
the oven cavity and push it in until it clicks into
place.
3
Touch Clean in the Cooking Modes screen.
Touch Steam Maintenance and Descaling in
that order.
