40 TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: My appliance is still dirty after running the EasyClean cycle. What else should I do?
A: The EasyClean cycle only helps to loosen light soils in your appliance to assist in hand-cleaning of
your oven. It does not automatically remove all soils after the cycle. Some scrubbing of your
appliance is required after running the EasyClean cycle.
Q: I tried scrubbing my oven after running EasyClean, but some soils still remain. What can I do?
A: The EasyClean feature works best when the soils are fully soaked and submerged in water before
running the cycle and during hand-cleaning. If soils are not sufficiently soaked in water, it can
negatively affect the cleaning performance. Repeat the EasyClean process using sufficient water.
Sugar-based and certain greasy soils are especially hard to clean. If some stubborn soils remain, use
the Self Clean feature to thoroughly clean your oven.
Q: Soils on my oven walls are not coming off. How can I get the oven walls clean?
A: Soils on the side and rear walls of your appliance may be more difficult to fully soak with water. Try
repeating the EasyClean process with more than the ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) of spray recommended.
Q: Will EasyClean get all of the soils and stains out completely?
A: It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain grease stains are especially hard to clean. Also, if
stains are not sufficiently soaked in water, this can negatively affect cleaning performance.
If stubborn or built-up stains remain, use the Self Clean feature. Refer to the Self Clean section of
your owner's manual.
Q: Are there any tricks to getting some of the stubborn soils out?
A: Scraping the soils with a plastic scraper before and during hand-cleaning is recommended. Fully
saturating soils with water is also recommended.
However, certain types of soils are harder to clean than others. For these stubborn soils, the Self
Clean cycle is recommended. Consult the Self Clean section of your owner's manual for details.
Q: Is it safe for my convection fan or heater element to get wet during EasyClean?
A: Yes. The convection fan or heater element may get a little wet during cleaning. However, direct spray
onto the broil burner and heater elements is not necessary because these are self-cleaning during
regular use.
Q: Do I need to use all 1 ¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of water for EasyClean?
A: Yes. It is highly recommended that 1 cup (8 oz or 240 ml) of water be sprayed or poured on the
bottom and an additional ¼ cup (2 oz or 60 ml) of water be sprayed on walls and other soiled areas to
fully saturate the soils for better cleaning performance.
Q: I see smoke coming out of my appliance's vents during EasyClean. Is this normal?
A: This is normal. This is not smoke. It is actually water vapor (steam) from the water in the oven cavity.
As the oven heats briefly during EasyClean, the water in the cavity evaporates and escapes through
the oven vents.
Q: How often should I use EasyClean?
A: EasyClean can be performed as often as you wish. EasyClean works best when your oven is LIGHTLY
soiled from such things as LIGHT grease splatter and small drops of cheese. Please refer to the
EasyClean section in your owner's manual for more information.
Q: What is required for EasyClean?
A: A spray bottle filled with 1¼ cups (10 oz or 300 ml) of water, a plastic scraper, a non-scratch scrubbing
pad and a towel. You should not use abrasive scrubbers such as heavy-duty scouring pads or steel
wool.
