Cleaning under the cooktop:
To clean the area under the cooktop, lift the front of the cooktop at
the center. Rarse the swing-up rod to hold it. (Be sure the tip of the rod is
in the notch in the cooktop.) Use warm soapy water and a sponge or cloth.
Scouring powders or any other abrasive cleaner may harm porcelain-
enamel finishes and can scratch chrome.
Be careful not to raise the cooktop so high that it touches the
control console. And don’t drop it. Dropping the cooktop can chip or crack
a hard porcelain finish, or damage side panels and surface units.
Easier cleaning with aluminum foil:
Oven cleaning can be a chore when spillovers bake onto the
bottom of the oven. Use aluminum foil so you can just throw it away with
the spillovers. 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.
When cutting the foil. make sure it is long enough to cover the
bottom with enough left over to start up both sides.
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 the
oven rack )
Slide the foil sheet under the bake element. Make sure it is centered
and long enough to start up the sides.
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.
Removing the oven door:
Removing the oven door may make it easier to clean the oven. To
remove the door, first open it to the first stop (about 4 inches or 10 cm).
Take hold of both sides of the door near the top; then lift it
at the same
angle it is in.
Wrth the door off. you will notice how the ends of the hinges slide
into slots at the bottom corners of the door. To put the door back on, fit
both bottom corners of the door over the ends of the hinges. Push the
door down evenly, so neither corner gets ahead of the other. When it
reaches the bottom. you can close the door. A safety latch will hold the
door open until it is on correctly.
Removing the storage drawer (use care when handling the drawer):
The drawer below your oven is meant to store pots and pans.
Never keep anything in there that will burn or melt.
You may want to remove the drawer for cleaning under the range.
Pull it straight out until it stops.
Use care when handling the drawer.
Lift
the front and pull some more to get it over the stop. Now slide it out until
it stops again. Lift the drawer away from the range until it slips out of the
guides.
To put it back. frt the side rails at the back of the drawer into both
guides on the range. Push it closed while lifting the front to get past the
stops.
Pull to stop. Lift; pull
again.
