32 CARE AND CLEANING
Lo Temp Clean INSTRUCTION GUIDE
1. Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.
2. Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a
plastic scraper.
3. Fill a spray bottle with 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of
water and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray the
inside surfaces of the oven.
4. Use at least ¼ cup (2 oz or 50 ml) of the water to
completely saturate the soil on both the walls and in the
corners of the oven.
5. Spray or pour the remaining 1 cup (8 oz or 250 ml) of
water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity. The
indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered
to submerge all soils. Add water if necessary.
NOTE
Use the "mist" setting on the spray bottle for better coverage.
The entire 1¼ cup (10 oz or 300 ml) of water should be
used for each oven cavity cleaned.
Do not spray water directly on the door. Doing so will
result in water dripping to the floor.
6. Close the oven door.
Press the Lo Temp Clean button.
Press the START button.
CAUTION
• Some surfaces may be hot after the Lo Temp Clean
cycle. Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent
burns.
• During the Lo Temp Clean cycle, the oven becomes
hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the cycle is over
before wiping the inside surface of the oven. Failure
to do so may result in burns.
• Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while
cleaning the oven cavity.
Suggested plastic scrapers:
• Hard plastic spatula
• Plastic pan scraper
• Plastic paint scraper
• Old credit card
7. A tone will sound at the end of the 20-minute cycle.
Press the STOP button to clear the display and end the
tone.
8. 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. If you are cleaning the upper oven on a
double oven range, cover the holes in the top of the
lower oven door with a towel to capture any water that
may drip into the door during hand cleaning.
9. Clean the oven cavity immediately after the Lo Temp
Clean cycle by scrubbing with a wet, 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.
10. Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe up any excess
water with a clean, dry towel. Replace racks and any
other accessories.
11. If some light soils remain, repeat the above steps,
making sure to thoroughly soak the soiled areas. If
stubborn soils remain after multiple Lo Temp Clean
cycles, run the Self Clean cycle. Be sure that the oven
cavity is empty of oven racks and other accessories,
and that the oven cavity surface is dry before running
the Self Clean cycle. Consult the Self Clean section of
your owner's manual for further details.
NOTE
• If you forget to saturate the inside of the oven with
water before starting Lo Temp Clean, press the STOP
button to end the cycle. Wait for the range to cool to
room temperature and then spray or pour water into
the oven and start another Lo Temp Clean cycle.
• The cavity gasket may be wet when the Lo Temp
Clean cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the
gasket.
• If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom after
cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar to
remove them.
