Whirlpool RF366PXG, RF364BXG Range Care, Self-Cleaning Cycle, To Broil at a Lower Temperature

To Broil:

1.Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL.

On some models, set the oven selector and oven temperature control knob to BROIL. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn on.

2.After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.

On some models, turn both the oven selector and oven temperature control knob to OFF. The OVEN ON indicator light will turn off.

To Broil at a Lower Temperature:

If food is cooking too fast, turn the oven temperature control knob counterclockwise until the OVEN ON indicator light goes off.

To broil food slower from the start of cook time, set the oven temperature control knob between 170°F and 325°F (77°C and 163°C). These temperature settings let the broil elements cycle and slow cooking results.

Broiling Chart

For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

(on some models)

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

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

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. See “Oven Vent(s)” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.

■Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½ in. (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.

■Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
