Oven Care; General Cleaning - Whirlpool 8205977 Use And Care Manual

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
GREASE FILTERS
Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-
based oven cleaners.
Hot water and mild detergent:
Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt
and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Dishwasher:
Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be
trapped in the filters.
OVEN CAVITY
The gray finish inside the oven cavity is a durable, nonstick
coating that makes soils easier to remove.
Do not use metal or sharp utensils or scrapers, soap-filled
scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty
washcloths or some recycled paper towels. Damage may occur.
The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed
should be kept clean.
Average soil
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
Heavy soil
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.
Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry with
soft, lint-free cloth.
Odors
Lemon juice or vinegar:
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of either
lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in oven.
Microwave Inlet Cover
The microwave inlet cover (see "Parts and Features") should be
kept clean to avoid arcing and oven damage.
Wipe with wet cloth.
