Whirlpool FGP355V - Manual (Page 8)

The standard-cleaning oven
The Standard Oven has to be hand
cleaned. Use warm soapy water, soapy
steel wool pads or a commercial oven
cleaner. See "Cleaning Charf'on page 10
for further instructions.
A
caution
Do not allow commercial oven
cleaner to contact the heat seal,
thermostat or exterior surfaces of
the oven. Damage will occur.
Use foil during cooking to keep oven
clean. See “Using foil" below for more
information.
The continuous-cleaning
oven (Model FGC355V)
Standard oven walls are coated with
smooth porcelain. Your Continuous-
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 medium to high baking tempera­
tures so the oven can return to a
presentably clean condition.

Cleaning tips
1. The oven window and racks are not
coated. Clean them by hand.
2. The oven door does not get as hot
as the walls. Some hand cleaning
may be needed.
3. If you do more broiling than baking,
hand cleaning may be needed.
4. Use aluminum foil or a shallow pan
on the lower rack according to
instructions below. Spill-overs may
not burn away and could stain the
bottom.
Hand cleaning
A warning
Personal Injury Hazard
Do not use oven cleaning products
in a continuous-cleaning oven.
Some can become trapped in the
porcelain surface and give off
harmful fumes.
WINDOW (Models FGC355V, FGP355V
& FGP345V) - Keep clean with warm
soapy water or spray glass cleaner. Use
a plastic scouring pad for heavily-soOed
areas. Rinse well. Do not use steel wool
or abrasive cleansers.
WALLS AND DOOR - Wash with warm
soapy water. Use a steel wool pad or
plastic scouring pad for heavily-soiled
areas. Rinse well.
Using foil (standard and
continuous-cleaning ovens)
To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies
and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-
duty aluminum foü or a shallow pan on
the lower rack (on models with more
than one rack), slightly larger than the
cooking container. On models with only
one rack, place foil or shallow pan on
rack under food container. This may,
however, result in poor baking.
A
warning
Bum, Electrical Shock And
Product Damage Hazard
■ Make sure all controls are OFF
and the oven is cool before using
foil. Failure to do so can result in
bums or electrical shock.
■ Do not use foil to cover oven floor
or to completely cover a rack.
Good air circulation is needed for
the oven to operate properly. Poor
cooking results and damage to
the oven could occur.
1. Turn off all controls.
2. Position foil or pan under the
cooking container. Make sure the
foil is centered and large enough to
catch any spill-overs.
RACKS - Use a soapy steel wool pad for
best cleaning results. Rinse well.
