My range is still dirty after running the
easyCLEAN cycle. What else should I do?
The easyCLEAN cycle only helps to loosen light soils in
your oven range to assist in hand-cleaning of your oven.
It does not automatically remove all soils after the
cycle. Some scrubbing of your oven range is required
after running the easyCLEAN cycle.
I tried scrubbing my oven after running
easyCLEAN, but some soils still remain.
What can I do?
easyCLEAN feature works best when the soils are
fully soaked and sub merged in water before running
the cycle. If soils are not sufficiently soaked in water, it
can negatively affect cleaning performance. Repeat the
easyCLEAN process using sufficient water. Sugar-based
and certain grease soils are especially hard to clean. If
some stubborn soils remain, use the Self Clean feature
to thoroughly clean your oven.
Soils on my oven walls are not coming off.
How can I get my walls clean?
Soils on the side and rear walls of your oven range may
be more difficult to fully soak with water. Repeat the
easyCLEAN process with more than the 1/4 cup (2oz)
spray recommended.
Will easyCLEAN get all of the soils and
stains out completely?
It depends on the soil type. Sugar-based and certain
grease 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 your owner's manual.
Are there any tricks to getting some of the
stubborn soils out?
Scraping the soils with a plastic scraper before and
during hand-cleaning 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.
Is it safe for water to spill into the oven
bottom vents during cleaning? (Gas range
only)
Some water spillage into the oven bottom vents (gas
range) is okay. However, it is recommended to try avoid
spilling too much water into the vents.
Is it safe for my broil burner or heater
element to get wet during easyCLEAN?
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.
Do I need to use all 1-1/4 cup (10oz) of
water for easyCLEAN?
Yes. It is highly recommended that 1cup (8oz) of water
be sprayed or poured on the bottom and additional
1/4cup (2oz) of water be sprayed on walls and other
soiled areas to fully saturate the soils for better cleaning
performance.
I see "smoke" coming out of my oven
range's cooktop vents during easyCLEAN.
Is this normal?
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 easyCLEAN, the water in the
cavity evaporates and escapes through the oven vents.
How often should I use easyCLEAN?
easyCLEAN can be performed as often as you wish.
easyCLEAN works best when your oven is LIGHTLY
soiled from such things as LIGHT grease splatter and
small drops of cheese. Please refer to the easyCLEAN
section in your owner's manual for more information.
What is required for easyCLEAN?
A spray bottle filled with 1-1/4 cup of water, a plastic
scraper, a non-scratch scrubbing pad and a towel. You
should not use abrasive scrubbers such as heavy-duty
scouring pads or steel wool.
