Care and Cleaning

Setting the Oven to Self-clean at a Later 

Time (cont.)

5.  Enter the desired start time. For example, touch 1-2-

3-0 for 12:30. You may enter a time up to 22 hours 

and 59 minutes ahead of the present time.

6.  Touch START. When you touch START, “DELAY” will 

appear on the display and the oven door will lock. The 

oven will start to self-clean at the time selected.

When the oven is set to clean at a later time...
•  If you want to view the time, push the CLOCK key.
•  If the clock is displayed, you can push START TIME 

to check when the self-clean cycle will start.

•  When the self-clean cycle starts, “DELAY” will disap-

pear and “ON” will appear on the display.

To cancel the time delayed self-clean cycle...
•  Touch CANCEL/SECURE.
•  If the self-clean process has not started, allow about 

a minute for the door to unlock before attempting to 

use the oven.

•  If the oven is in the middle of the self-clean pro-

cess, the door will unlock when the oven has cooled 

down enough to open safely. The oven will still be hot 

(about 400°F/205°C).

Quick Steam Clean

The steam clean process is a quick, simple way to clean 

light soil inside the oven. Steam cleaning allows you to 

save time and energy over the self-clean process, which 

should be used for heavier soil build up. Also on double 

ovens, unlike the self-clean process, the quick steam 

clean process may be performed on both ovens at the 

same time.

•  To avoid steam burns, do not pour water into the oven when 

it is hot.

•  The water remaining inside the oven will still be hot to the 

touch when the door is opened after the process.

•  Do not use a temperature higher than 185°F (85°C)

1.  Remove the oven racks and all utensils from the oven.
2.  Making sure the oven is cool, pour 1 1/2 cups of water 

(preferably distilled) into the recessed portion of the 

oven floor. For slightly heavier build up, you may mix 

a teaspoon of hand dishwashing soap into the water 

prior to pouring.

3.  Fold a dish 

towel in half and 

insert the end 

(double thick-

ness) between 

the door and the 

door gasket (right 

to left) to catch 

water that may 

dribble out during 

the process.  Lay 

the rest of the towel just inside on the oven floor.

4.  Close the oven door, touch the BAKE key, then set the 

oven to 185°F (85°C). Touch START.

5.  Set the timer (see page 10) for 20 minutes.
6.  When the timer beeps, touch CANCEL · SECURE. 

Wait 10 minutes before opening the door. When you 

open the door, there will usually be a large amount of 

steam, condensation and some water inside.

7.  Using a soapy sponge, wipe down the inside of the 

door window first. Then carefully sponge out the 

remaining water from the inside of the oven.

8.  Scrub the inside of the oven with the soapy sponge 

until grease and soil is remove from the surfaces 

inside. Lime deposits can be removed with a cloth 

soaked in vinegar.

9.  Make sure all surfaces are dry after cleaning by wiping 

down the oven with paper towels. Leave the door 

partially open to allow any left over condensation to 

escape. 

Repeat the process any time soil begins to build up inside.

Cleaning the Exterior

Control Panel

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on the control panel. 

They will permanently damage the finish.

To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning 

the control panel, activate the lock-out feature. Touch the 

CANCEL · SECURE key for six seconds. The lock-out fea-

ture disables the keys. When the control panel is locked, 

the word “OFF” appears on the display.
When you want to re-activate the control panel, touch 

CANCEL · SECURE for six seconds.
Clean the control panel with the soft side of a sponge 

dampened with a mild solution of detergent and warm 

water. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
