Whirlpool RM988PXK warranty Special Tips, How It Works

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 to kes 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 hove been set long enough. Set the cleaning time longer for heavier soil.

4.Oven rocks lose their shine, discolor and become horder to slide on their guides when they ore left in the oven during the cleaning cycle. To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the rocks and rock guides with a soapy steel-wool pod, rinse well, and wipe on a thin coot of salad oil.

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

l Turn the Stop Trme 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 Lock Light turns off, move the Lock Lever bock to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT.Wait 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 for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
