USING THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.

BEFORE YOU START

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

•Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking, and roasting.

•Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door and frame.

•Remove the broiler pan and grid and any cookware/bakeware being stored in the oven.

•Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

•Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as possible after the oven cools down. When sugar is heated to a high temperature in the Self- Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain. This can cause staining and etching or pitting.

•Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide. (See the “Cleaning chart” in the “Caring for Your Range” section.) If you clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides are counted from bottom to top.)

•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.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is ex- tremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

DO NOT hand-clean gasket

TIPS:

•Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

•Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

•Do not block the vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

•Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop. They may melt.

•Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

•The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

RF370LXG, RF376LXG, RF370PXG, RF374PXG specifications

The Whirlpool RF374PXG, RF370PXG, RF376LXG, and RF370LXG are part of Whirlpool's innovative line of side-by-side refrigerators that embody both style and functionality. These models are designed to meet the needs of modern households while incorporating advanced technologies that ensure food preservation, energy efficiency, and convenience.

One of the main features of these refrigerators is their spacious interior. They offer ample storage space with adjustable shelves that can accommodate various sizes of food items and containers. The door bins are designed to hold taller bottles and cans, providing additional flexibility in organizing your groceries. In addition to the impressive capacity, an interior LED lighting system brightens every corner, making it easy to find your favorite snacks and ingredients even in low-light conditions.

The Whirlpool RF series incorporates advanced cooling technologies to maintain optimal temperature settings throughout the refrigerator and freezer sections. With the Adaptive Defrost feature, these models monitor when the freezer is in use and defrost only when necessary. This not only saves energy but also helps in maintaining the quality of frozen foods. The Accu-Chill Temperature Management System quickly cools the refrigerator after grocery shopping, ensuring that food stays fresh longer.

Another highlight is the Water and Ice Dispenser, which provides filtered water and cubed or crushed ice on demand. This feature is especially convenient for families who enjoy chilled beverages. The in-door ice storage frees up freezer space, allowing for more room for frozen items. Furthermore, a filtration system ensures that the water is clean and free from contaminants.

The sleek exterior design of these Whirlpool models complements any kitchen decor. The stainless steel finish is not only modern but also resistant to smudges and fingerprints, making maintenance easier. The integrated controls are user-friendly, providing easy access to temperature adjustments and settings.

Energy efficiency is a critical consideration for modern appliances, and these refrigerators meet ENERGY STAR standards. This ensures that they consume less electricity without compromising on performance, making them an environmentally friendly choice for consumers.

Whirlpool's commitment to quality is evident in the durability of these models, which are built to last. With robust construction and a manufacturer’s warranty, the RF374PXG, RF370PXG, RF376LXG, and RF370LXG refrigerators are a reliable investment for any kitchen. In summary, these Whirlpool models combine advanced technology, spacious design, and energy efficiency to create a top-of-the-line refrigerating solution for every household.
