CARE AND CLEANING
before cleaning any part of the oven.
CONTROL PANEL
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use.
Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse
with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
OVEN EXTERIOR
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, plastic scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior or exterior of the oven. Clean with
a mild soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and
not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild
abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing cleaning products including
stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, see the
Accessories and Consumer Support sections at the end of
this manual.
OVEN INTERIOR
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or
by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
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, abrasive cleaners, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning powders
on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild soap and
water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make
sure that they are at room temperature.

Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water
and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature, wipe grease and soils
from the oven. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of
the oven. Close the door. Select Steam Clean and press
Start to the right of the screen. The oven door will lock.
You cannot 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 the door will unlock.
Wipe out any excess water and any remaining soil. NOTE:
Water in the bottom of the oven may be hot right after
finishing the cycle.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature.
soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other
than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks, the
meat probe, and any cookware or other items should all be
removed from the oven before initiating a self clean cycle.
Close the door. If using a double oven, select which oven
you would like to clean. Select Self Clean. Choose a 3, 4,
or 5 hour cycle, and select the illuminated Start pad to the
right of the screen. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum
5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the
default time, press Start immediately after selecting Self
Clean.
The oven will show that the door has locked and display
the amount of time remaining in the cycle. Press the
illuminated Cancel pad to the right of the screen if you
wish to stop the cycle. The oven will turn off automatically
when the self clean cycle is complete. The door will stay
locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has
cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean
cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the oven and outside the gasket
on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean
these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel wool pads or
cleaners such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water
and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the
oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential
for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming
worn or frayed, replace it.
