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.
