Whirlpool WKP85800 Use & Care Manual page 18

Remove foil or other liners from the oven. During the self-
cleaning cycle, foil can burn or melt and damage the oven
surface.
DO NOT put broiler pan and grid or drip bowls from coil
element cooktops in oven during self-clean cycle because
damage to the finish can occur.
Check to see that the oven door is closed tightly on all sides.
Do not leave plastic utensils near the oven vent. They may
melt.
Do not block the oven vent during the self-cleaning cycle. Air
must move freely for best cleaning results.
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.
Heating and cooling or porcelain on steel may result in
discolouring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and popping
sounds.
•
Wipe up food spills containing sugar and/or milk as soon as
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to
a high temperature in the self-clean cycle, it reacts with the
porcelain causing staining, etching, pitting or faint white
spots.
• Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very
soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than
usual.
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 mildly abrasive pad.
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 above.
As soon as you program the oven for the self-cleaning function,
the door will automatically lock. It will remain locked throughout
the entire cycle. The door will automatically unlock when the
temperature has fallen.
