Self-Cleaning
Technology
AquaLift ®Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning
solution designed to minimize the time, temperature, and odors
that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With
AquaLift ®Self-Cleaning Technology, an innovative coating on the
interior of the oven is activated with heat and water to release
baked-on soil. To use AquaLift _ Self-Cleaning Technology, simply
wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom, and run the
AquaLift ®Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under
1 hour at a lower temperature than traditional self-cleaning
methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See
the "Clean Cycle" section for more detailed instructions. For
additional information, frequently asked questions and videos on
using AquaLift _ Self-Cleaning Technology, visit our website at
http :llwhr.pl.comlaqualift

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.

The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before
cooking. Your range comes with three sizes of burners and caps.
Align the burner bases as shown in the following illustration:

A. Small C. Medium D. Medium
B. Large E. Large
Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice
holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in

Warming or Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store
plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper or
other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12-15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the
oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will
go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your
oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you
place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Burner Size Recommended Use
Small • Low-heat cooking
• Melting chocolate or butter
Medium • Multipurpose burner
Large • For large cookware
Large (most • For large cookware
powerful) • Most powerful burner
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-
fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heaw
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum and
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the
surfaces.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the
same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum
cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of
aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or
light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

Illl om@ Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off by the oven. Exposure to the fumes may result
in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and
well-ventilated room.
A_uminum IIF©i_
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
IIPosi ioning IIRaoks and IIBakewa ÷
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"
(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge,
and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.
*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends
must be placed in the rack position above the desired position
of the food. See the following illustration.

A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting
until turned off.
When the Sabbath Mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate.
All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will
sound, and the displays will not indicate temperature changes.
When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not
turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off
immediately.
To Enable Sabbath Mode Capability (one time only):
1. Press SETTINGS/CLOCK until "SABBATH" is displayed.
"OFR Press (1) for On" will scroll in the display.
2. Press the "1" keypad. "ON. Press (1) for Off" will scroll in the
display. Sabbath Mode can be activated for baking.
3. Press START to save the setting.
4. Press CANCEL to exit and display the time of day.
NOTE: To disable the Sabbath Mode, repeat steps 1 - 4 to

Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast cycle, the
oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take
approximately 12-15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the
oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will
go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your
oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you
place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do
not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only
one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid
Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid
Preheat. Press RAPID PREHEAT and follow the oven control
prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press RAPID
PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed before
placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is
complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack
baking.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to
maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or
cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in
the non-convection bake mode to improve oven performance.
ACCUBAKE ®Temperature Management System
The ACCUBAKE ®system electronically regulates the oven heat
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or
burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models,
the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for
short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature
is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
FrozenBake TM Technology
FrozenBake TM Technology can be used to cook prepackaged
frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without
overbrowning the food. There are 4 preprogrammed food options
to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets/Fries, and Pie.
FrozenBake TM Technology should only be used for these foods.
Cook only 1 package at a time when using FrozenBake TM
Technology. Use the recommended temperature and maximum
recommended time from the packaging.
A beep will alert you to check the food's doneness before the cook
time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The
display will prompt you to add to the cook time or end the cycle.

Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil and
convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan
circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and
convection elements cycle on and off.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard
thermal oven. Use the following chart as a guide.
Convection Mode Time/Temp. Guidelines
Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature,
possible shortened cooking time
Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30%
Convection Broil Shortened cooking time

Clean Cycle
( Aquo ,ift '
Self-Cleaning
Technology
AquaLift ®Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes
heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less
than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free
alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean
cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), "Oven Cooling"
will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated
until the oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity and
wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily-
removed soils.
Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge
or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much
of the initial 1s/4cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of water will remain in
the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils
remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to
assist with the cleaning.
7,
If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing
sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run
to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of
chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal
scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain
surface of the oven interior.
2,
Pour 1s/4cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water
onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the
water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The
water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven
control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will
sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be
pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
NOTES:
• The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface of
the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the
beginning of the Clean cycle.
• For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may
leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
• Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the
end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between
the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep
water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.
• Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
• Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity
walls, oven door and oven bottom for difficult soils. For best
results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
• Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
• affresh ®Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh ®Cooktop
Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls and door
when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room
temperature. If affresh ®Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is
recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as
well. Refer to the "Accessories" section for information on
ordering.
• Additional AquaLift ®Technology Cleaning Kits may be
obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the
"Accessories" section for more information.
