Setting The Controls - Whirlpool SF378PEW Use And Care Manual

l
Remove any pots and pans being stored
in the oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan
(without grid) in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning
or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur. The
chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in
the Self-Cleaning cycle.
l
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
l
Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See page 29.) If you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)
l
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent
during the cycle.
Personal Injury Hazard
l
Do not touch the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.
l
Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven. Cleaners could produce
hazardous fumes or damage the
porcelain finish.
NOTES:
l
Do not force the Lock Lever. You could
bend or break it. The lever is designed to
stay locked until the oven is cool enough to
safely open. Wait until it moves freely.
l
Do not block the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
l
Do not leave plastic utensils near the
vent. They may melt.
l
Do not leave any foil in oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt
and damage the oven surface.

The oven light will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
