Steam Clean
(on some models)
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives
with Steam Clean.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light cleaning of the
oven cavity bottom. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as
possible after spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the
oven, the more difficult it may be to remove.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C),
“Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean
feature will not activate until it cools down.
■ Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
■ For best results, pour 10 oz (295 mL) of distilled or filtered
water onto the oven bottom.
■ The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 25 minutes. “Wipe
the oven” will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press CANCEL at any time to end the cycle. The display will
return to the time of day.

1. Close the oven door.
2. Press CLEAN MODES. “REMOVE RACKS” will scroll in the
selected oven text area.
3. “Press 1 for Steam Clean” will appear in the upper display
area.
“Press 2 for Precise Clean” will appear in the lower display
area.

5. “Steam CLEAN” will scroll in the upper display area until the
clean cycle is finished.

will appear in the lower display area.

Helpful Hints
■ Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all
remaining water and debris 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.
■ If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help
loosen debris for easier removal.
■ Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce
from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.
■ Food spills containing sugar, proteins or starches may require
vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.
■ It is recommended to use distilled or filtered 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-Clean cycle. The
Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the
debris, resulting in a more effective self-clean.
