Clean Cycle - KitchenAid KSDB900ESS Owner's Manual

OVEN RACKS
Cleaning Method:
� Steel-wool pad.
� For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light
coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help
them slide.
� Dishwasher (steam rack water reservoir only, not racks):
Although the water reservoir is durable, it may lose its shine
and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.
BAKING DRAWER (on some models)
Check that baking drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.
Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high
temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting,
or faint white spots can result.

Clean Cycle

AquaLift ® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that
utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in
less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat,
odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean
cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), it will appear in
the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven
cavity cools down.

To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity, and
wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily
removed soils.
2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 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 CLEAN or AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START
on the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press CANCEL, CANCEL UPPER or OFF at the end of the
cycle. Cancel, Cancel Upper or Off may be pressed at any
time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge
or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much
of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain in the
oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain,
leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist
with the cleaning.
