3.Press START.

The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.

4.When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.

5.When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

SteamClean(onsomemodels)

The SteamClean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning.

Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the SteamClean feature. If your oven cavity is above 100°F (38°C), “OVEN COOLING” will appear in the display and the SteamClean feature will not activate until it cools down.

Helpful Hints

■Once the SteamClean 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.

■Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.

■For best results, use 10 oz (295 mL) of distilled or filtered water.

■The SteamClean feature will take a total of 20 minutes. A beep will sound at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the SteamClean cycle.

Press CANCEL/OFF at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.

■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 SteamClean cycle.

■If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Clean cycle. The SteamClean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the debris, resulting in a more effective self-clean.
