Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain-enamel. Your
continuous-cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher
porcelain-enamel
A fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher
surface. The bead of fat chars and turns black. The spread-out fat gradually
burns away at medium to high baking temperatures (350 -475+, 176 -231 C) so
the oven can return to a presentably clean condition.

USING FOIL Foil must be used on the lower oven bottom to catch spillovers. The foil must
be used properly. Using foil in the self-cleaning upper oven is not recommended
Cut foil from a roll of heavy-duty la-inch (45 cm) aluminum foil, or buy a foil kit
[Part No. 241430) from Your Whirlpool Appliance dealer.
Lift the cool bake element
slightly to lift the feet off the
oven bottom.
Slide the foil underthe bake
element.
Make sure foil is centered,
long enough to start up both
sides, and lying flat without
wrinkles.

For proper baking, lower the
bake element so all feet
rest solldly on the foil.
