J LO TEMP CLEAN

Lo Temp Clean enamel technology gives you two
cleaning options for the inside of the range. The Lo
Temp Clean feature takes advantage of this new
enamel to help lift soils without harsh chemicals, and
it runs using ONLY WATER for just 20 minutes in low
temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before hand-
cleaning.
While Lo Temp Clean is quick and effective for small
and LIGHT soils, the Self Clean feature can be used
to remove HEAVY, built-up soils. The intensity and high
heat of the Self Clean cycle may result in smoke which
will require the opening up of windows to provide
ventilation. Compared to the more intense Self Clean
process, the oven gives you the option of cleaning with
LESS HEAT, LESS TIME, and virtually NO SMOKE OR
FUMES.

* The Self Clean cycle can be used for soil that has been built up over time.

CLEANING TIPS

• Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before
using the Lo Temp Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is
above 150°F (65°C), "OVEN IS HOT- - PLEASE WAIT"
will appear in the display, and the Lo Temp Clean
cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools
down.
• A plastic spatula can be used as a scraper to scrape
off any chunks or debris before and during oven
cleaning.
• Using the rough side of a non-scratch scouring pad
may help to take off burnt-on stains better than a soft
sponge or towel.
• Certain non-scratch scrubbing sponges, such as those
made of melamine foam, available at your local
stores, can also help improve cleaning.

When needed, the range still provides the Self Clean
option for longer, more thorough oven cleaning for
heavier, built up soils.
BENEFITS OF LO TEMP CLEAN

• The range should be level to ensure that the bottom
surface of the oven cavity is entirely covered by water
at the beginning of the Lo Temp Clean cycle.
• 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 Lo Temp Clean cycle.
• Do not open the oven door during the Lo Temp Clean
cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is
opened during the cycle.
• For hard to reach areas such as the back surface of
the lower oven, it is better to use the Self Clean cycle.
