AquaLift ® Self-Cleaning Technology
AquaLift ® Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning
solution designed to minimize the time, temperature and odors that
ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With
®
AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology, an innovative coating on the
interior of the oven is activated with heat and water to release
baked-on soil. To use AquaLift
wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom and run the
AquaLift ® Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under
1 hour at a lower temperature than in traditional self-cleaning
methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See
the "Clean Cycle" section for more detailed instructions. For
additional information, frequently asked questions and videos on

Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Baking Drawer (On Some Models)
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store
plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper or
other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of
the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity.
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle
rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven
temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat
lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures
that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at
the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone
sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone
sounds.
Surface Burners
The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before
cooking. Your range comes with three sizes of burners and caps.
Align the burner bases as shown in the following illustration:
