The Standard-Cleaning Oven; The Continuous-Cleaning Oven - Whirlpool FEC350V Use And Care Manual

The standard-cleaning oven Using foil
The standard oven has to be hand
cleaned. Use warm soapy water, soapy
steel wool pads or a commercial oven
cleaner. See "Cleaning chart"on page 12
for further instructions.
Using foil on the continuous-cleaning
oven bottom is recommended to catch
sugar and starchy spills from pies and
casseroles. It must be used properly.
Cut foil from a roll of heavy-duty 18-inch
(45 cm) aluminum foil, or buy a foil kit
(Part No. 241430) from your Roper
Appliance dealer.
Do not allow commercial oven
cleaner to contact the heating
elements, thermostat, heat seal or
exterior surfaces of the oven.
Damage will occur.
Using
foil
To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies
and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-
duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on
the lower rack (on models with more
than one rack), slightly larger than the
cooking container. On models with only
one rack, place foil or shallow pan on
rack under food container. This may,
however, result in poor baking.
NOTE: Do not use foil or foil liner to
cover the oven floor. Poor baking
results could occur.
The continuous-cleaning
oven (Model FEC350V)
Standard oven walls are coated with
smooth porcelain. Your continuous-
cleaning oven walls are coated with a
special, rougher porcelain. A fat spatter
beads up on the smooth surface, but
spreads out on the rougher surface. The
bead of fat on the smooth surface chars
and turns black. The spread-out fat on
the rough surface gradually burns away
at medium to high baking temperatures
so the oven can return to a presentably
clean condition.
Fat spatter beads up.
Turns black.

Bum, Electrical Shock And
Product Damage Hazard
m Make sure all controls are OFF
and the oven is cool before using
foil. Failure to do so can result in
bums or electrical shock.
. Do not let foil touch the bake
element. It could damage the
element. Make sure foil is flat on
the bottom and away from the
bake element.
1. Turn off all controls.
2. Lift the cool bake element slightly
to lift the feet off the oven bottom.
3. Slide the foil under the bake
element. Make sure the foil is
centered and long enough to start
up both side oven walls without
wrinkling. For proper baking, lower
the bake element so all feet rest
solidly on the foil.
Cleaning tips
1. The oven window and racks are not
coated. Clean them by hand.
2.
The oven door does not get as hot
as the walls. Some hand cleaning
may be needed.
3. If you do more broiling than baking,
hand cleaning may be needed.
4. Use aluminum foil on the oven
bottom according to instructions.
Spill-overs may not burn away and
could stain the bottom.

Some can become trapped in the
porcelain surface and give off
harmful fumes.
