Spray or pour the remaining water (8 oz or
240 ml) onto the bottom center of the oven
cavity. The indentation on the oven bottom
should be fully covered to submerge all soils.
Add water if necessary.
NOTE
• If cleaning multiple ovens, use an entire bottle of
water to clean each oven. Do not spray water
directly on the door. Doing so will result in water
dripping to the floor.
6
Close the oven door. Turn the oven mode
knob to select EasyClean. Press START.
CAUTION
• Some surfaces may be hot after the EasyClean
cycle. Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to
prevent burns.
• During the EasyClean cycle, the oven becomes
hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the cycle is
over before wiping the inside surface of the
oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
• Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass
while cleaning the oven cavity.
7
A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minute
cycle. Turn the oven mode knob to the OFF
position to clear the display and end the tone.
8
After the cleaning cycle and during hand-
cleaning, enough water should remain on the
oven bottom to completely submerge all soils.
Add water if necessary. Place a towel on the
floor in front of the oven to capture any water
that may spill out during hand-cleaning.
9
Clean the oven cavity immediately after the
EasyClean cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-
scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring
side will not scratch the finish.) Some water
may spill into the bottom vents while
cleaning, but it will be captured in a pan under
the oven cavity and will not hurt the burner.
NOTE
• Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive
pads or cleaners as these materials can
permanently damage the oven surface.
10
Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any
excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace
racks and any other accessories.
11
If some light soils remain, repeat the above
steps, making sure to thoroughly soak the
soiled areas.
• For models with Self Clean function
- If stubborn soils remain after multiple
EasyClean cycles, run the Self Clean cycle.
Be 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. If a Self Clean option is
not available, scrape off and remove
stubborn soil using a scraper.
NOTE
• If you forget to saturate the inside of the oven
with water before starting EasyClean, turn the
oven mode knob to the OFF position to end the
cycle. Wait for the range to cool to room
temperature and then spray or pour water into
the oven and start another EasyClean cycle.
• 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.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the
EasyClean cycle.
• Using commercial oven cleaners or bleach to
clean the oven is not recommended. Instead,
use a mild liquid cleanser with a pH value below
12.7 to avoid discoloring the enamel.
Self Clean
This feature is only available on some models.
The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot
temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While
running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice
smoking or an odor. This is normal; especially if
