SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature off ers a chemical free and
time saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of
small and light soils. For heavier baked on soils use the
Self Clean feature.
CAUTION
Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any
other abrasive household cleaners to the water used
for Steam Clean.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all
controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The
oven may be hot and can cause burns.
Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting
Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room
temperature a triple beep will be heard and the func-
tion will not start. Steam Clean produces best results
when started with a cool oven.
To set a Steam Clean cycle:
1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the
oven bottom.
3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.
Close oven door.
Figure 7: Add 1 cups of tap water
4. Touch Oven Modes,scroll to and touch Steam
Clean.
5. Touch START.
6. The time the Steam Clean cycle will end is shown
in the display. Do not open the door during this
time. If door is open while in Steam Clean (d-O)
will appear in the display.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert
will sound and the Off message will show in the
display. Press off to return to the clock.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean
is fi nished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the
way of escaping vapor.
9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven
door gasket (page 46). Avoid leaning or resting
on the oven door glass while cleaning cavity.

Notes:
• Opening the oven door during the steam clean
cycle prevents the water from reaching the tem-
perature needed to clean.
• For best results, clean oven immediately after the
cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils
on the oven bottom.
• A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel
sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning
pad (without cleaner) can be used for diffi cult soils.
Moisten pads with water before use.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to
capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any
length of time.
• Some condensation or water vapor may appear
close to the oven vent and the oven door glass.
This is normal. The oven gasket may become
damp; do not wipe dry.
• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard
water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavi-
ty with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or
50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.
• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a de-
layed start time.
• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a
Self Clean. See "Self Clean" on page 43.
