Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom
cleaning on models that have hidden bake in both ovens.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C),
the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, use 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or ltered water.
Do not use oven cleaners.
The Steam Clean feature will take approximately 1 hour. A tone will
sound at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Touch the Oven Cancel keypad for single oven models and the
Upper/Lower keypads for double oven models at any time to end
the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.
Helpful Hints
■ Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete and the oven is
completely cooled, remove all remaining water in the bottom
ofthe oven with a sponge or cloth.
■ Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven
cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
■ Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
■ It is recommended to use distilled or ltered water, as tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use
acloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any
mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
■ If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Cleaning cycle. The
Steam Clean cycle may be used rst to eliminate most of the
debris, resulting in a more effective self-cleaning.
To Steam Clean:
1. Open the oven door of the selected oven and remove all racks
and accessories from the oven cavity.
2. Pour 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or ltered water into the oven
bottom. Then close the oven door.
3. Touch the Tools keypad.
(On double-oven models) Select Upper Cavity or Lower Cavity.
4. Select STEAM CLEAN.
5. Select START.
6. After approximately 1 hour, a tone will sound to signal the end
of the cycle. Touch the keypad for single oven models and the
keypads for double oven models to clear the display.
7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove any excess
waterwith a sponge or cloth and wipe down oven interior.
Ifneeded, use a non-scratch copper scrubbing pad to
removestubborn soils.
