- The red tube is for detergent and the blue for rinse aid on BCT/BLCT-61, -61, -101, -102, and -202 models.
- Step 2. Check oven temperature - Check if the oven is below 176 degrees fahrenheit. If it is not working, run the ‘CoolDown’ function to bring the temperature down.
- Step 3. Remove internal racks - Remove all the inside racks and place them in the dishwasher for cleaning.
- Step 4. Clean the interior - Clean the interior oven cavity and door with a mix of warm water & mild detergent and wipe away any excess with a clean cloth.
- Step 5. Clean door gasket and catch tray - Wipe the door gasket and catch tray with warm water & mild detergent, clearing out any debris and dirt that has accumulated.
- Step 6. Wipe down the exterior - Using a fresh cloth, wipe down the exterior with some stainless steel oil. Make sure to use a separate, clean cloth to dry afterwards.
- Step 7. Get to the manual menu - Press the manual key on the main menu touch screen. This should bring you to manual menu options.
- Step 8. Press the wash button - Press the combi wash button to pull up the wash modes. You will have a selection of different wash options to pick from.

Use flush before starting other cleaning cycles, light after steaming and roasting at low temperatures, medium after steaming and roasting at medium temperatures, heavy after roasting at temperatures above 356 degrees fahrenheit or use intensive after roasting very greasy products. Each one has a different duration, with shorter times for light cleaning and longer times for more thorough cleaning.
