How to Self-clean a Whirlpool Oven

Self-cleaning Whirlpool ovens take most of the effort out of cleaning your oven. Caked-on food and residue from baking, roasting or broiling can be difficult to remove, even with oven cleaner and heavy scrubbing. Self-cleaning Whirlpool ovens use high heat to burn off the residue so that you only need to wipe out ashes after the cleaning cycle. Self-clean your Whirlpool oven regularly to keep it looking and performing its best.
