Steam Clean
(on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven-cavity bottom
cleaning on models that have hidden bake in both ovens.
Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 100°F (38°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, use distilled or filtered water.
■
The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 20 minutes. A beep
■
will sound at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press any CANCEL at any time to end the cycle. The display will
return to the time of day.
Helpful Hints
Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining
■
water 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.
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.

(473 mL) of distilled or filtered water to the oven bottom.
