Self-Cleaning Technology

AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning

solution designed to minimize the time, temperature, and odors
that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With
AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology, an innovative coating on the

interior of the oven is activated with heat and water to release
baked-on soil. To use AquaLift

Preheating
removed soils.
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12-15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the
oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will
go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your
oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you
place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
2. Pour 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water
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 AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven
control panel.
