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 medlum to
hlgh baklng temperatures so the oven can return to a presentably clean
condition.

Using Foil
Using foil on the oven bottom is recommended to catch sugar and starchy
spills from pies and casseroles. It must be used properly. Cut foll from a roll of
heavy-duty 18-Inch (45 cm) aluminum foil, or buy a foil klf (Part No. 241430)
from your Whlrlpool Appliance dealer.

3. Slide the toll under the bake ele-
ment. Make sure the foil is cen-
tered and long enough to start up
both sides and without wrinkles.
2. Lift the cool bake element slightly
to Ilft the feet off the oven
bottom.
For proper baking, lower the
bake element so all feet rest sol-
Idly on the foil.
CAUTION: Do not let toll touch the bake element. It could damage the
element. Make sure foil Is flat on the bottom and away from the bake
element.

Cleaning Tips

If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five steps:
1. Before calling for
assistance...
Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
without tools of any kind
If nothing operates:
l Isthe oven correctly wired into a live
circuit with the proper voltage? (See
Installation Instructions.)
l Have you checked your home’s
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
If the upper oven will not operate:
l Isthe Upper Oven Selector turned to
a setting (BAKE or BROIL, but not
TIMED)?
l Isthe UpperOven Temperature Con-
trol turned to a temperature setting?
If the lower oven will not operate:
l Isthe Lower Oven Temperature Con-
trol turned to a temperature setting?
If soil is visible on Continuous-
Cleaning oven finish:
l The special finish is designed to
gradually reduce oven soil during
normal baking or roasting. It is not
designed to keep your oven spot-
less, only presentably clean.
l If you broil often, you may see oven
soil.
l The doors are cooler than the oven
walls, Soil will be more visible on the
doors than other areas in the ovens.
See page 14 for how to clean.
l Sugar and starchy spills may leave
stains. See page 14 for hand clean-
ing tips, Keep foil on oven bottoms
to catch these spills.
If cooking results aren’t what you
expected:
l Is the oven level?
l Are you using pans recommended
in the Cooking Guide?
l If baking, have you allowed IYz to 2
inches (4-5 cm] on all sides of the
pans for air circulation?
l Have you preheated the oven as the
recipe calls for?
l Are the pans the size called for in the
recipe?
l Are you following a tested recipe
from a reliable source?
