50 MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Tips
• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before
using the EasyClean ® cycle. If your oven cavity is
above 150 °F (65 °C), Hot will appear in the display,
®
and the EasyClean cycle will not be activated until
the oven cavity cools down.
• A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to
scrape off any chunks or debris before and during
oven cleaning.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad
may help to take off burnt-on stains better than a
soft sponge or towel.
• Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as
those made of melamine foam, available at your
local stores, can also help improve cleaning.
• Make sure the oven is level for best results when
cleaning the oven.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven
bottom.
• Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will
be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean
cycle.
• Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean
cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is
opened during the cycle.
• For hard to reach areas such as the back surface
of the oven, it is better to use the Self Clean cycle.

A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minute

end the tone.
6
After the cleaning cycle and during hand-
cleaning, enough water should remain on the
oven bottom to completely submerge all soils.
Add water if necessary. Place a towel on the
floor in front of the oven to capture any water
that may spill out during hand-cleaning.
7
Clean the oven cavity immediately after the
EasyClean ®
non-scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The
scouring side will not scratch the finish.) Some
water may spill into the bottom vents while
cleaning, but it will be captured
in a pan under the oven cavity
and will not hurt the burner.
NOTE
Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive
pads or cleaners as these materials can
permanently damage the oven surface.
