Whirlpool SF367LEH Manuel D’Utilisation

■

Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, 
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■

Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, 
damaging the oven.

■

Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. 
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■

Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½ in. (3.8 cm) area 
around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to 
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough 
during 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 will not 
affect cooking performance.

■

Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may 
melt.

■

Remove all items from the storage drawer.

 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. 

The oven is preset for a 3

 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the 

time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 
minutes for light soil and between 3

 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 

30 minutes for average to heavy soil. 

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp 
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven 
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the 
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in 
the glass breaking.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely 
or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. DOOR 
LOCKED/CLEANING light will flash until the door is closed.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to CLEAN.

The door will lock within 6 seconds, and OVEN ON and OVEN 
HEATING indicator lights will come on.

If the door does not lock, it will try to lock for 1 minute. If the 
door fails to lock, the self-cleaning cycle will be canceled and 
an error code will be displayed.

Press the “up” or “down” arrow pads to select a clean time 
between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.

During the last 30 minutes of the self-cleaning cycle the oven 
will start to cool down. The OVEN HEATING light will turn off 
and “COOL” appears in the display.

Once the oven goes below the locked temperature, the OVEN 
ON light flashes and DOOR LOCKED/CLEANING light turns 
off when door unlocks.

Turn the oven control knob to OFF when finished cleaning.

The OVEN ON light turns off and the time of day appears in 
the display.

 Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 

the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions 
on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless 
otherwise noted.

(on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills 
may affect the finish.

■

Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or non-abrasive scrubbing 
pad:

Gently clean around the model and serial number plate 
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. 
These spills may affect the finish.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each 
other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.

Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.

Do not clean in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

■

Non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive 
cleanser:

Clean as soon as cooktop, grates and caps are cool.

■

Dishwasher (grates only, not caps):

Use the most aggressive cycle.

See “Sealed Surface Burners” section.

See “Surface Burners” section.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.

Do not soak knobs.

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the OFF position.

On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.

■

Soap and water or dishwasher:

Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths 
or some paper towels. Damage may occur.

■

Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on 
panel.
