Range Care; Clean Cycle - Kenmore 664.4278 Series Use & Care Manual

Lo Temp Clean is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes
heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less
than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-
free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the
Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), "Oven
Cooling" will appear in the display and the Clean cycle will
not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity
and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove
easily removed soils.
2. Pour 1 3 / cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water
4
onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with
the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean
cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press LO TEMP CLEAN and then START on the oven control
panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cooldown. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press STOP at the end of the cycle. Stop may be pressed at
any time to stop the Clean cycle.

RANGE CARE

Clean Cycle

6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge
or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete.
Much of the initial 1
will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If
additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water
in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.
7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch
scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean
cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals,
including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads,
may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the
oven interior.
NOTES:
The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface
■
of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the Clean cycle.
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water
■
may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at
■
the end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel
between the lower edge of the oven door and the front
frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the
range and the floor.
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
■
difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads
■
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven
cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difficult soils.
For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
■
Kitchen and appliance cleaner and cooktop cleaner may
■
be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when
the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room
temperature. If cooktop cleaner is used, it is recommended
to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well.
