Whirlpool RB262PXA - Manual (Page 20)

• Remove the broiler pan grid and any
pots and pans being stored in the oven.
NOTE You can clean the broiler pan and
grid in the oven if you have first removed
most of the soil by hand-cleaning or a
dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the cleaning
cycle.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean the oven racks in the Seif-Cleaning
cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See page 23.) If you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd
and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted
from bottom to top.)
• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
AWARNING
Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
• Do not touch the oven during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven. Cleaners may produce
hazardous fumes or damage the
porcelain finish.
• Do not leave foil in the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil can burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.
NOTE: Do not force the Lock Lever. You
could bend or break it. The lever is designed
to stay locked until the oven is cool enough
to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.
Do not block the vent during the Self­
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best
cleaning results.
Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent.
They may melt.
Setting the controls
1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct
time of day. (See “Setting the clock” on
page 9.)
2. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the
right-the Clean position.
3. To start cleaning immediately:
Push the Clean pad. A 3-hour Self-Cleaning
cycle will be set. “3:00” will show in the large
display. CLEAN, TIME, HR, CLEAN, LOCK
and ON will come on.
If a Self-Cleaning cycle other than
3 hours is desired, push the Clean pad.
Turn the Set Knob to the new time up to
4 hours.
• Use 2 hours for light soil.
• Use 3-4 hours for moderate to heavy soil.
NOTE: If the door is not latched, “DOOR”
will flash in the display and a tone will
sound. Latch the door and LOCK will come
on.
Skip to Step 5.
