If some light soils remain, repeat the above

areas.
If stubborn soils remain after multiple

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
• The cavity gasket may be wet when the

EasyClean 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.

®
EasyClean cycle.
• It is normal to hear the sound of boiling water
from the steam generator while running the
EasyClean ® cycle.

Water Tank

The water tank is used during the steam cooking
functions. Use filtered, softened water if possible.
NOTE
• After using the steam function, the water tank
should be drained. To avoid bacteria or odors,
clean and dry the water tank after every use.
• Do not clean in a dishwasher.
Hard Water Scale
If hard water is used in the water tank, the steam
generator may become clogged with hard water
scale. In areas with hard water, run the Descaling
function frequently or use softened water.

Cleaning Scale on Oven Bottom

To remove mineral deposits that remain on the oven
bottom after using the steam mode, use a cloth
or sponge soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid
solution. For more stubborn or extensive scaling, use
the Descaling function.

Descaling

Use this function to remove the white deposits that
form after the steam generator is used for a long
period.
The Descaling function runs for 65 minutes. Water
will come out of the steam generator while it is being
cleaned.
For instructions on removing and filling the water
tank, see "Using the water tank."
