Use warm soapy water and a sponge or cloth. Scouring powders or any other abrasive cleaner may harm porcelainenamel 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:

Use aluminum easy cleaning.

foil for

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:

Pull straight with ike angle of part-open 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.
