Special Tips; How The Cycle Works - Whirlpool TER50W0D Use And Care Manual

Special tips
l
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,
odors, and smoke.
l
After the oven is cool, wipe up any
residue or ash with a damp cloth or
sponge. If any spots remain, clean with a
mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge.
l
Clean the oven before it gets heavily
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven
takes longer and results in more smoke
than usual.
l
If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get
the oven as clean as you expected, the
cycle may not have been set long enough
or you may not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand-clean areas
noted on page 22.
How the cycle works
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat
to burn away soil and grease. During the
cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it
does for normal baking or broiling. This high
heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns
it away.
You can adjust the cycle time to the
amount of soil in your oven. You can set the
cycle anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.
(See "Setting the controls" on page 23.)
