Interior Surfaces
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using the Steam Clean mode or the Self Clean mode
(on some models).
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up as soon as safely possible. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for use in
a self-cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild

and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the
oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or
silver racks, and any cookware or other items should all
be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean
cycle. Failure to remove items other than enameled (dark
racks) can result in permanent discoloring of shiny racks
and damage to cookware.
Steam Clean Mode
Steam clean is intended to clean small spills using water
and a lower cleaning temperature than Self-Clean. The
steam clean cycle is designed to sufficiently heat the
water added to the oven bottom at the beginning of the
steam clean cycle, so that it increases in temperature
and can then condense onto food soils, softening them
and making them easier to remove.
To use the Steam Clean feature, allow the oven to cool
so that you can wipe grease and soils from the oven
bottom and to avoid pouring cold water onto a hot oven
bottom to prevent possible thermal shock and enamel
oven. Close the door.
Oven Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water. All oven
racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or
steel wool. Nickel-plated (silver) racks should not remain in
the oven during the self clean cycle. Doing so will tarnish the
racks. Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after a
Steam Clean or a Self-Clean (on some models).

Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any
soil will burn off when the elements are heated. To clean
the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with
