Whirlpool RJE-3300 Caring for your Continuous Cleaning Oven, If results aren’t what you expect

Caring for your Continuous Cleaning Oven:

1. Follow trusted recipes for baking, roasting and broiling. They

.Cwill give time. temperature and pan recommendations to help avoid smoke. spatter and spillovers.

2.Keep heavy-duty aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven. If foil is not used, and something spills over, it may leave a permanent stain.

3.The oven racks should be kept clean with hot sudsy water. Use a soapy steel-wool pad or plastic scouring pad to remove stub- born spots. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

4.The oven window should also be kept clean with hot. sudsy water. Do not use a soapy steel-wool pad on the window. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

Foil should lay flat in bottom of oven and should not touch the heating element.

Replacing aluminum foil on the oven bottom:

You can use the heavy-duty 18-inch (45 cm) aluminum foil found in most grocery stores. Or you can order an aluminum foil kit (Part Number 241430) from your Whirlpool Dealer.

1.When cutting the foil, make sure it is long enough to cover the bottom with enough left over to start up both sides.

2.Make sure the bake element is cool. Lift it far enough to raise its feet from the bottom of the oven. (You may have to remove an oven rack.)

3.Slide the foil sheet under the bake element. Make sure it is centered

,.and long enough to start up the sides.

4.When you put the bake element back down, make sure all the feet rest solidly on the foil and that the foil is smoothed out across the bottom of the oven. If the feet on the element are not solidly on the foil, the oven may not bake properly.

If results aren’t what you expect:

Remember, the oven keeps itself presentably clean at normal baking temperatures. If you do very little baking, but a lot of broiling, you may see fat spatters on the oven walls and door. This is because broiling will add new spatters faster than old ones can be burned off. In some cases, you may want to clean the oven by hand.

Hand-cleaning the Continuous Cleaning Oven:

1.Wash with hot, soapy water and rinse well.

2.Use a soapy steel wool pad or plastic scouring pad for more stubborn spots.

3.Do not use commercial oven cleaners. These cleaners may collect

in the rough porcelain-enamel finish. The fumes from commercial

oven cleaners trapped in the porcelain-enamel surface may be harmful.

NOTE:

The oven door is ventilated to help keep the outside cooler. This also means that the inside of the oven door does not get as hot as the oven walls. Because of this, some hand-cleaning of the door may be needed...especially if the oven is used mostly for broiling or at low baking temperatures.
