Oven Care; Self-Cleaning Cycle - Whirlpool WOCA7EC0HZ Instrucciones Para El Usuario

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 the "Oven Vents" 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 oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
■
See the "General Cleaning" section for more information.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
■
damaging the oven.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1
■
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during high-temp 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 is normal
and will not affect cooking performance.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for
medium soil, and 5 hours for heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the
Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to
increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven
vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after
the Self-Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
