How to Use the Auto Steam Clean feature - NN-CD87

The Home Chef 4-in-1 Oven has so many functions, we expect it to be used every day, several times a day. To keep your oven looking and working its best, follow our simple cleaning guidelines.

What you'll need

Double-sided sponge (for heavy grease and stains, use the rough side)
Lemon juice—bottled or fresh-squeezed
Baking Soda
Dishwashing liquid
Tap water
Clean cloth

End-of-Day Wipe Down

Repeat: Daily

Time needed: 5 minutes

Tools and materials: Double-sided sponge, dishwashing liquid, tap water.

Combine warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid to make a warm, sudsy solution. At the end of the day, wipe down the interior of the oven with the soft side of the sponge. If the day’s cooking leaves grease or other stains, run the Steam Cleaning Function (below).
