ainless steel sponge,
plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without
cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads
with water before use.
• Plac
e a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to
capture
any water that may spill while wiping out.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any
le
ngth of time.
• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to
the
oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal.
The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.
• Lo
cal water sources often contain minerals (hard
water).
If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a
50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of
lemon juice and water.
• S
team clean cannot be programmed with a delayed
st
art time.
• Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any
other abrasive household cleaners to the water used
