Range Care; General Cleaning - Whirlpool VSF315PEMQ3 Use & Care Manual

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
1. Open the broiler door and roll out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place the broiler pan and grid so grease can drain down into
the lower part of the broiler pan.
3. Place food on broiler pan. Then place the pan on the broiler
rack and close the broiler door.
4. Touch CUSTOM BROIL.
The BROIL indicator light will light up.
5. Touch START/ENTER.
The On and Temp indicator lights will light up. The
temperature setting can be changed at any time during
broiling. If broiling while the Timer is counting down, the set
broiling temperature can be displayed for 5 seconds by
touching CUSTOM BROIL.
6. Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished broiling.
To CUSTOM BROIL:
Changing the temperature while custom broiling allows more
precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the
slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of
meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling
temperatures. If food is cooking too quickly, the broiling
temperature can be lowered by touching the TEMP "down" arrow
pad.
1. Touch CUSTOM BROIL.
2. Touch the TEMP "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a
temperature between 300°F (149°C) and 525°F (273°C).
3. Touch START/ENTER.
4. Touch OFF/CANCEL when finished custom broiling.
BROILING CHART
For best results, broiler pan should be rotated at the same time
the food is turned. Times are guidelines only and may need to be
adjusted for individual foods and tastes.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products. Do not wipe down any of the inside
surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a
cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled
completely could result in the glass breaking.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.
Do not soak knobs.
When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.
On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths
or some paper towels. Damage may occur.
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
