Care and Cleaning

Self-clean (Cont.)

If you want to stop the self-clean cycle, touch the CANCEL · SECURE key. Keep in mind that the oven door will remain locked until it is safe enough to open. The lock symbol will disappear from the display when the door lock is released. You will still need to exercise caution when the door lock is released because the inside of the oven may still be hot.

After the self-clean cycle is complete...

•The door latch will release when the inside has cooled down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON“ will disap- pear from the display. Exercise caution because the oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the door lock is released.

•Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before using your oven.

•You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self-cleaning. This condition is normal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the oven cools down.

Self-cleaning Tips

•If any soil remains in the oven after the self-clean cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.

•Self-clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Doing so will make the self-clean cycle work better and reduce smoke and odors.

Setting the Oven to Self-clean at a Later Time

1.Prepare the oven for self-cleaning as instructed on page 25. Observe all safety precautions and remove all items listed from inside the oven. Clean the door gasket and around the door as instructed.

2.Close the oven door.

3.Touch the Self-cleankey.

4.Touch the START TIME key.

5.Enter the desired start time. For example, touch 1-2- 3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.

6.Touch START. When you touch START, “DELAY” will appear on the display and the oven door will lock. The oven will start to self-clean at the time selected.

When the oven is set to clean at a later time...

•If you want to view the time, push the CLOCK key.

•If the clock is displayed, you can push START TIME to check when the self-clean cycle will start.

•When the self-clean cycle starts, “DELAY” will disap- pear and “ON” will appear on the display.

To cancel the time delayed self-clean cycle...

•Touch CANCEL/SECURE.

•If the self-clean process has not started, allow about a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to use the oven.

•If the oven is in the middle of the self-clean pro- cess, the door will unlock when the oven has cooled down enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot (about 400 °F).

30 minute – Quick Steam Clean

The steam clean process is a quick, simple way to clean light soil inside the oven. Steam cleaning allows you to save time and energy over the self-clean process, which should be used for heavier soil build up. Also on double ovens, unlike the self-clean process, the quick steam clean process may be performed on both ovens at the same time.

warning

•To avoid steam burns, do not pour water into the oven when it is hot.

•The water remaining inside the oven will still be hot to the touch when the door is opened after the process.

•Do not use a temperature higher than 185°F (85°C).

1.Remove the oven racks and all utensils from the inside of the oven.

2.Making sure the oven is cool, pour 1 1/2 cups of water (preferably distilled) into the recessed portion of the oven floor. For slightly heavier build up, you may mix a teaspoon of hand dishwashing soap into the water prior to pouring.

3.Close the oven door, touch the BAKE key, then set the oven to 185°F (85°C). Touch START.

4.Set the timer (see page 15) for 20 minutes.

5.When the timer beeps, touch CANCEL · SECURE.

6.Wait 10 minutes before opening the door. When you open the door, there will usually be a large amount of steam, condensation and some water inside.

7.Using a soapy sponge, wipe down the inside of the door window first. Then carefully sponge out the remaining water from the inside of the oven.

8.Scrub the inside of the oven with the soapy sponge until grease and soil is remove from the surfaces inside. Lime deposits can be removed with a cloth soaked in vinegar.

9.Make sure all surfaces are dry after cleaning by wiping down the oven with paper towels. Leave the door partially open to allow any left over condensation to escape.

Repeat the process any time soil begins to build up inside.
