Whirlpool RF317PXX manual Standard Oven Cleaning, Cleaning Chart, Using Foil

Standard Oven Cleaning

The standard oven has to be hand cleaned. Use warm soapy water, soapy steel wool pads or a commercial oven cleaner. See “Cleaning Chart” below for further instructions.

Do not allow commercial oven cleaner

to contact the heating elements, thermostat, heat seal or exterior surfaces of the oven. Damage will occur.

Using Foil

To catch sugar or starch spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack, slightly larger than the cooking container.

NOTE: Do not use foil or foil liner to cover the oven floor. Poor baking results could occur.
