Cleaning The Range - Interior - GE PSS93BPTS Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Range – Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean mode.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for self-
cleaning oven), strong liquid cleansers, steel wool,
or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For soils
on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces,
use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as
Bar Keepers Friend®, with a non-scratch sponge. Take
Steam Clean Mode
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from
your oven at a lower temperature.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.
3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4. Close the door.
5. Select Steam Clean and then press Start/Enter.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity
during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any
soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element is not exposed and is under the oven
floor. Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water.

care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to
the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating.
The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using
a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and
water solution. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean
as this will decrease the steam clean performance. At
the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak up the remaining
water, and wipe the moisture-softened soil from the oven
walls and door.
NOTE: Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring
or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
