EasyClean Instruction Guide
The oven should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven cavity is entirely covered by water at the beginning of the EasyClean cycle.
Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is opened during the cycle.
Some surfaces may be hot after the EasyClean cycle. Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.
During the EasyClean cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of the oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.
Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the oven cavity.
Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive pads or cleaners as these materials can permanently damage the oven surface.
Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should not be used in or around any part of the oven.
Remove the baking tray, deep baking tray, wire grill, all cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the oven.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it by a service technician.
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.
Once the door has been locked, the lock k indicator light stops flashing and remains on. Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to activate.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the EasyClean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 65 ℃, the EasyClean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean cycle.
Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.
Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper.
Suggested plastic scrapers:
Hard plastic spatula
Plastic pan scraper
Plastic paint scraper
Old credit card
Fill the tank to the Max line. Use softened, filtered water, if possible. Hard water may clog the steam generator more quickly with scale buildup.
Press Cleaning in the Main Menu screen, then press EasyClean.
Press the Start/Stop button on the control panel. The remaining time appears in the display.
A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minutes cycle and Cleaning is finished appears in the display. Press the Start/Stop button on the display.
After the cleaning cycle and during hand-cleaning, enough water should remain on the oven bottom to completely submerge all soils. Add water if necessary. Place a towel on the floor in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill out during hand-cleaning.
Clean the oven cavity immediately after the EasyClean cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring side will not scratch the finish.) Some water may spill into the bottom vents while cleaning, but it will be captured in a pan under the oven cavity and will not hurt the burner.
Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace racks and any other accessories.
If some light soils remain, repeat the above steps, making sure to thoroughly soak the soiled areas.
Be sure that the oven cavity is empty of oven racks and other accessories.
The cavity gasket may be wet when the EasyClean cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the gasket.
If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar to remove them.
Using commercial oven cleaners or bleach to clean the oven is not recommended. Instead, use a mild liquid cleanser with a pH value below 12.7 to avoid discoloring the enamel.
