Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your oven.
EcoClean Feature
The Whirlpool OMR58HU1B oven features an EcoClean coating on its interior walls. This special catalytic lining absorbs grease and food residues during the cooking process, simplifying cleaning. For best results, run the oven at a high temperature (e.g., 200°C for 1 hour) after cooking fatty foods to activate the self-cleaning properties. After the cycle, simply wipe away any remaining ash with a damp cloth.
General Cleaning
- Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- The oven door glass can be cleaned with a glass cleaner.
- Removable parts like racks and trays can be washed in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
- Ensure the oven is completely cool before cleaning.
