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.
Suggested plastic scrapers:
• Hard plastic spatula
• Plastic pan scraper
• Plastic paint scraper
• Old credit card
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 (2oz 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 (10oz 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 LO TEMP CLEAn.
Press STArT.
NOTE
For electric double oven range models, the upper oven is
designed to work without the use of heat. It is normal for the
electric upper oven to not heat during LO TEMP CLEAN cycle.
CAuTION
y Some surfaces may be hot after the LO TEMP CLEAN cycle.
Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.
y During the LO TEMP CLEAN cycle, the oven bottom 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.
y Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning
the oven cavity.
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, it is also best to 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 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 for
further details.
NOTE
y 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.
y The cavity gasket may be wet when the LO TEMP CLEAN
cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the gasket.
y If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom after
cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar to remove
them.
