Maintaining your appliance
After a steam-cleaning cycle
•
Take care when opening the door before a steam-cleaning procedure has
ended. The water on the bottom is hot.
•
Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not
leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven
clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door
seal.
•
Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the
oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove
lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
•
If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has
cooled.
•
For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend
that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning
function.
•
After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior
enamel surface to dry thoroughly.

Care and cleaning of the oven
WARNING
•
Be sure all controls are OFF and all surfaces are COOL before cleaning any part
of the range.
•
If your range is moved for cleaning, servicing, or any
reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged
properly when the range is replaced. If you fail to re-
engage the Anti-Tip device, the range could tip and cause
serious injury.
