Benefits of Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning is ideal for light cleaning and routine maintenance between more intensive cleaning methods. It uses water and heat to create steam, which helps to soften minor splatters and grime, making them easier to wipe away without the use of harsh chemicals or high-temperature self-cleaning modes.
Remember to always consult your specific Whirlpool oven's user manual for the most accurate and detailed instructions, as models may vary.
