Steam Clean. Whirlpool WOC95EC0AS

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning on models that have hidden bake in both ovens.

Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the

Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C),

“Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.

■

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.

■

For best results, use 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water.

■

The Steam Clean feature will take approximately 25 minutes.

A beep will sound at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.

Press CANCEL at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.

Helpful Hints

■

■

Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete and the oven is completely cooled, remove all remaining water in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.

Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven cavity interior sides, and cooktop.

■

■

Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.

This may help with more stubborn stains.

It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.

■

If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Clean cycle.

The Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the debris, resulting in a more effective self-clean.

To Steam Clean:

1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.

2. Close the oven doors, and then press CLEAN MODES.

3. Press the number “2” keypad for Steam Clean.

4. Open the oven door, and pour 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water to the oven bottom. Then close the oven door.

5. Press START LOWER.

6. After approximately 25 minutes, a beep will sound to signal the end of the cycle. Press CANCEL LOWER to clear the display.

7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove any excess water with a sponge or cloth and wipe down oven interior.

If needed, use a non-scratch copper scrubbing pad to remove stubborn soils.

For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.
