MAINTENANCE
3
Fill a spray bottle with water (10 oz or 300 ml) and
use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray the inside
surfaces of the oven.
4
Use at least
1
/
5
(2 oz or 60 ml) of the water in the
bottle to completely saturate the soil on both the
walls and in the corners of the oven.
5
Spray or pour the remaining water (8 oz or 250 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 (10 oz or 300 ml)
dripping to the floor.
6
Close the oven door.
Press 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 minutes cycle.
Press Clear/Off 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. If stubborn soils remain after multiple
EasyClean
®
cycles.
NOTE
•
If you forget to saturate the inside of the oven with
water before starting EasyClean
®
, press Clear/
Off 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.
•
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.
Cleaning Tips
•
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before
using the EasyClean
®
cycle. If your oven cavity is
above 150 °F (65 °C), Hot will appear in the display,
and the EasyClean
®
cycle will not be activated until
the oven cavity cools down.
•
Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad
may help to take off burnt-on stains better than a
soft sponge or towel.
•
Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as
those made of melamine foam, available at your
local store, can also help improve cleaning.
•
The range should be level to ensure that the bottom
surface of the oven cavity is entirely covered by
water at the beginning of the EasyClean
®
cycle.
•
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven
bottom.
•
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will
be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean
®
cycle.
•
Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean
®
cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is
opened during the cycle.
