General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products. For additional information, you can visit the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) section of our website at
www.whirlpool.com . In Canada, refer to the Customer Service
section at www.whirlpool.ca .
Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire oven is cool. These spills may
affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive
scrubbing pad:
Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because
scrubbing may remove numbers.

soap-filled scouring pads, chlorine bleach, abrasive cleaners,
steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper towels.

time or limited use.

removers, ammonia or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint
surface may stain.
CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR

OVEN RACKS
Cleaning Method:

■ For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light
coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help
them slide.
OVEN CAVITY AND OVEN DOOR INTERIOR

Food spills should be cleaned after the oven cools. At high
temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching,
pitting, or faint white spots can result.

a damp sponge before running cycle.
