AquaLift
®
 Self-Cleaning Technology
AquaLift
®
 Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning 
solution designed to minimize the time, temperature and odors that 
ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With 
AquaLift
®
 Self-Cleaning Technology, an exclusive coating on the 
interior of the oven is activated with heat and water to release 
baked-on soil. To use AquaLift
®
 Self-Cleaning Technology, simply 
wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom and run the 
AquaLift
®
 Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under 
1 hour at a lower temperature than in traditional self-cleaning 
methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See 
the “Clean Cycle” section for more detailed instructions. For 
additional information, frequently asked questions and videos on

Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, 
such as the knobs and oven door.
Baking or Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store 
plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and 
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper or 
other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the 
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take 
approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of 
the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. 
Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle 
rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven 
temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat 
lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures 
that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at 
the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone 
sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone 
sounds.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive 
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the 
cooktop is still warm, but not hot to the touch. It is 
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the 
warm cooktop.
Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle 
against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be 
necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the 
residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding 
to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh
®
 Cooktop Cleaner to 
the affected areas.
Rub affresh
®
 Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface 
with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is 
needed to remove stubborn stains.
Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding 
to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or 
burned-on stains.
