A. Oven vent
PRECISE BAKE Temperature Management System
(on some models)
The PRECISE BAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or
burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models,
the fan may be cycled on and off for short intervals to provide the
best results.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
10
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once
IO0°F (38°C) is reached, the display temperature will increase as
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected
temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to
preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) is approximately 10 to
15 minutes. Factors that have an impact on preheat times are:
room temperature, starting oven temperature, and the number of
oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating
your oven to reduce the preheat times.

Self-Cleaning
Technology
AquaLift ®Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes
heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than
I hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free
alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean
cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), "HOT" will appear
in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the
oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and
wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily-
removed soils.
3. Press CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. CANCEL may be
pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or
cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of
the initial 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of water will remain in the
oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain,
leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with
the cleaning.
2,
Pour 1¾ cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto
the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the
water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The
water on the oven bottom is hot.
7,
If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing
sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run
to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals,
including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads,
may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the
oven interior.
NOTES:
• The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of
the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the Clean cycle.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may
leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the
end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between
the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep
water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.
• Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity
walls, oven door and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best
results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
• Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
• affresh ® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner and affresh ® Cooktop
Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls and door
when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room
temperature. If affresh ®Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is
recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as
well. Refer to the "Accessories" section for information on
ordering.
• Additional AquaLift ® Technology Cleaning Kits may be
obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the
"Accessories" section for more information.
