Symptoms and Questions
I tried scrubbing my oven after
running LO TEMP CLEAN, but
some soils still remain. What can
I do?
Soils on my oven walls are not
coming off. How can I get my
walls clean?
Will LO TEMP CLEAN get
all of the soils and stains out
completely?
Are there any tricks to getting
some of the stubborn soils out?
Is it safe for water to spill into
the oven bottom vents during
cleaning?
Is it safe for my broil burner or
heater element to get wet during
LO TEMP CLEAN?
Do I need to use all 1-1/4 cup
(10oz) of water for
LO TEMP CLEAN?
I see "smoke" coming out of
my oven range's cooktop vents
during LO TEMP CLEAN. Is this
normal?
How often should I use LO TEMP
CLEAN?
What is required for LO TEMP
CLEAN?
Can I run the LO TEMP CLEAN
cycle on both of my ovens at
once?
Possible Cause/Solution
LO TEMP CLEAN feature works best when the soils are fully soaked and
submerged in water before running the cycle. If soils are not sufficiently
soaked in water, it can negatively affect cleaning performance. Repeat the LO
TEMP CLEAN process using sufficient water. Sugar-based and certain greasy
soils are especially hard to clean. If some stubborn soils remain, use the Self
Clean feature to thoroughly clean the oven.
Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven range may be more difficult to
fully soak with water. Repeat the LO TEMP CLEAN process with more than
the 1/4 cup (2oz) spray recommended.
It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain greasy stains are
especially hard to clean. Also, if stains are not sufficiently soaked in water,
then this can also negatively affect cleaning performance. If stubborn or
built-up stains remain, use the Self Clean feature. Refer to the Self Clean
section of the owner's manual.
Scraping the soils with a plastic scraper before and during hand cleaning
is recommended. Fully saturating soils with water is also recommended.
However, certain types of soils are harder to clean than others. For these
stubborn soils, the Self Clean cycle is recommended. Consult the Self Clean
section of your owner's manual for details.
Some water spillage into the oven bottom vents (gas range) is okay.
However, try to avoid spilling too much water into the vents.
Yes. The broiler burner or heater element may get a little wet during cleaning.
However, direct spray onto the broil burner and heater elements is not
necessary because these are self-cleaning during regular use.
Yes. It is highly recommended that 1 cup (8oz) of water be sprayed or
poured on the bottom and additional 1/4 cup (2oz) of water be sprayed
on walls and other soiled areas to fully saturate the soils for better cleaning
performance.
This is normal. This is not "smoke." It is actually water vapor (steam) from the
water in the oven cavity. As the oven heats briefly during LO TEMP CLEAN,
the water in the cavity evaporates and escapes through the oven vents.
LO TEMP CLEAN can be performed as often as you wish. LO TEMP CLEAN
works best when your oven is LIGHTLY soiled from such things as LIGHT
grease splatter and small drops of cheese. Please refer to the LO TEMP
CLEAN section in your owner's manual for more information.
A spray bottle filled with 1-1/4 cup of water, a plastic scraper, a nonscratch
scrubbing pad and a towel. You should not use abrasive scrubbers such as
heavy-duty scouring pads or steel wool.
Yes. You can run the LO TEMP CLEAN cycle on both ovens at the same time.
Some oven surfaces will be hot after the cycle completes running. Avoid
leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the oven cavities. You
cannot run the Self Clean cycle on both ovens at the same time.
