Caring for your Continuous
Cleaning Oven:
1. Follow
trusted recipes for baking,
roasting and broiling.
They
.C
will give time. temperature
and pan recommendations
to help
avoid smoke. spatter and spillovers.
2. Keep heavy-duty
aluminum
foil on the bottom
of the oven.
If
foil is not used, and something
spills over, it may leave a
permanent stain.
3. The oven racks should be kept clean with hot sudsy water. Use
a soapy steel-wool
pad or plastic scouring pad to remove stub-
born spots. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
4. The oven window
should
also be kept clean with hot. sudsy
water. Do not use a soapy steel-wool
pad on the window.
Rinse
well and dry with a soft cloth.
Replacing aluminum
foil on the oven bottom:
You can use the heavy-duty
18-inch (45 cm) aluminum
foil found
in most grocery
stores. Or you can order
an aluminum
foil kit (Part
Number
241430)
from your Whirlpool
Dealer.
1. When cutting
the foil, make sure it is long enough
to cover the
bottom
with enough left over to start up both sides.
2. Make sure the bake element is cool. Lift it far enough to raise its feet
from
the bottom
of the oven.
(You
may have
to remove
an
oven rack.)
3. Slide the foil sheet under the bake element.
Make sure it is centered
,.
and long enough to start up the sides.
4. When you put the bake element
back down, make sure all the feet
rest solidly on the foil and that the foil is smoothed
out across the
bottom
of the oven. If the feet on the element are not solidly on the
foil, the oven may not bake properly.
If results aren't what you expect:
Foil should lay flat in
bottom
of oven and
should not touch the
heating
element.
Remember,
the oven
keeps itself presentably
clean at normal
baking temperatures.
If you do very little baking, but a lot of broiling,
you
may see fat spatters on the oven walls and door. This is because broiling
will add new spatters
faster than old ones can be burned
off. In some
cases, you may want to clean the oven by hand.
Hand-cleaning
the Continuous
Cleaning Oven:
1. Wash with hot, soapy water and rinse well.
2. Use a soapy steel wool pad or plastic scouring pad for more stubborn
spots.
3. Do not use commercial
oven cleaners.
These
cleaners may collect
in the rough porcelain-enamel
finish. The fumes from commercial
oven
cleaners
trapped
in the porcelain-enamel
surface
may be
harmful.
NOTE:
The oven door is ventilated to help keep the outside cooler.
This also means that the inside of the oven door does not get as
hot as the oven walls. Because of this, some hand-cleaning
of the
door may be needed...especially
if the oven is used mostly for
broiling or at low baking temperatures.
