AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology
®
AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning
®
solution designed to minimize the time, temperature, and odors
that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With
AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology, an innovative coating on the
®
interior of the oven is activated with heat and water to release
baked-on soil. To use AquaLift
wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom, and run
the AquaLift Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under
®
1 hour at a lower temperature than in traditional self-cleaning
methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris.
See the "Clean Cycle" section for more detailed instructions. For
additional information, frequently asked questions and videos

Surface Temperatures

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Warming or Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store
plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper,
or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle,
the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven
will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C)
with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the
oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat.
The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The
actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to
offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food.
This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the
oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when
the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat
before the tone sounds.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the
■
cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping
the warm cooktop.
Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle
■
against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will
be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the
residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding
to Step 2.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of Cooktop Cleaner to the
affected areas.
Rub Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the
■
blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to
remove stubborn stains.
Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding
■
to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn
■
or burned-on stains.
