Key Usage Tips

AquaLift® 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 in 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://whirlpoolcorp.com/aqualift.

Surface Temperatures

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

Preheating

When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 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.

Surface Burners

The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before cooking. Your range comes with 3 sizes of burners and caps. Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. Align the burner bases as shown in the following illustration:
A

Griddle

Griddle installed on right side of cooktop
To Use the Griddle:
1. Locate the griddle on the right side grate, as shown. The
locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep
food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove.
3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly
will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
4. For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest
heat setting and the rear burner to medium-high heat for best performance.
NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate. For best results, the rear burner setting should be set to Medium­Low or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to Low.
To Clean the Griddle:
1. Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.
2. See the “General Cleaning” section for cleaning instructions.
3. Store griddle in a cool dry place.

Cookware

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-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results.
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.

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.

Home 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.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

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.

Aluminum Foil

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.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

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 position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To position 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.
A. Ends of rack in position 3 B. Food in position 2
IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. 2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. 3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max
Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 2 and a Max Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6, or a flat rack in position 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.
Flat Rack Position* Type of Food
7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish 3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles,
2 Roasted meats 1 Large roasts or poultry
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2½ to 3½ minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
* 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.

Oven Vent

A
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 OPTIONS/CLOCK until “SABBATH” is displayed. “OFF.
Press (1) for On” will scroll in the display. NOTE: A bake function for either, or both ovens must be
started before Sabbath Mode can be activated.
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 or CANCEL UPPER to exit and display the time
of day. NOTE: To disable the Sabbath mode, repeat steps 1 through 3
to change the status from “SABBATH ON” to “SABBATH OFF.”

Baking and Roasting

Preheating
When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 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.
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.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management 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 before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling

To Activate Sabbath Mode:
1. Press BAKE for the desired oven.
2. Press the number keypad to set a temperature other than
350°F (177°C).
3. Press START.
For timed cooking in Sabbath mode, press COOK TIME, and then the number keypads to set the desired cook time.
4. Press OPTIONS/CLOCK. Three tones will sound. Then press
“7.” “SAb” will appear in the display.
To Adjust Temperature (When Sabbath Mode is Running):
1. Press the number keypad as instructed by the scrolling text to
select the new temperature. NOTE: The temperature adjustment will not appear on the
display. The scrolling text will be shown on the display as it was before the keypad was pressed.
2. Press START.
To Deactivate Sabbath Mode:
Press OPTIONS/CLOCK, and then press “7” to return to regular baking, or press CANCEL for the desired oven to turn off the range.
NOTE: No tones will sound while deactivating Sabbath mode.
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See the “Accessories” section.

Convection Cooking

Proong Bread
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. The convection fan will not be on during the first 5 minutes of the cycle.
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. When using Manual Convect Modes, reduce the time and temperature when setting the 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
When using Auto Convect Modes, the oven will automatically adjust the time or temperature for the selected mode.
Convect Modes
Manual Convect Modes:
Convect Bake - Multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes.
Convect Roast - Whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts.
Convect Broil - Thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish or poultry.
Auto Convect Modes:
Meats - Chicken: whole and pieces; meat loaf; roasts: pork, beef, ham.
Baked Goods - Biscuits, quick breads, yeast breads, cakes, cookies, casseroles.
Others - Frozen convenience foods: french fries, nuggets, fish sticks, lasagna, pizza.
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C), “Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 120°F (49°C).
1. Press PROOF.
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Press CANCEL UPPER when finished proofing. Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s)
and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
