Whirlpool RB260PXK warranty Special Tips, How It Works, Self-Cleaningcycle -Twohour Setting

SPECIAL TIPS

1.Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the cleaning cycle to help get rid of normal heat odors and smoke.

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

3.If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you

expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough. Set the cleaning time longer for heavier soil.

4.Oven racks lose their shine, discolor and become harder to slide on their guides when they are left in the oven during the cleaning cycle. To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack guides with a soapy steel-wool pad, rinse well, and wipe on a thin coat of salad oil.

5.To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started:

l Turn the Stop Time Knob clockwise until the hand points to the right time of day.

l Turn the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

l When the oven cools, move the Lock Lever back to the left Do NOT FORCE IT Wart until It moves easily

HOW IT WORKS

During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for

baking or broiling...approximately 875 F (468 C). This heat breaks up grease and soil, and burns it off.

The graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a self-cleaning Cycle set for two hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the two-hour setting is up, but that it takes a while longer forthe oven to cool down enough to unlock.
