messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
The Ant-Tip Bracket
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without having
the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged per installation instructions.
Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged:

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
• Slide range forward.
• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.
• See installation instructions for details.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARN(NG: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
[] WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND
SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS
UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
[] CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range -
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
[] Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
[] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the range.
[] Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the range.
[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
[] Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
[] DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
[] Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
[] Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
[] Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place -
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
[] Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
[] Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
[] Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
[] Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
[] Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
[] Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
[] Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
[] Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
[] Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
[] Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
[] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
For self-cleaning ranges -
[] Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
[] Do Not Use Oven Cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
[] Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
[] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood -
[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
[] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

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 exclusive 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://whirlpoolcorp.com/aqualift.
Surface %mperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such
as the knobs and oven door.
Warming 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.
Preheat ng
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 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.
Ceram c Glass Cooktop Cleaning
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the
cooktop is still warm, but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the
warm cooktop.
• Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle
against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be
necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding
to Step 2.
2.
Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh ®Cooktop Cleaner to
the affected areas.
• Rub affresh® Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface
with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is
needed to remove stubborn stains.
• Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding
to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
• Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or
burned-on stains.
The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order including
the following:
• Cooktop Scraper
• affresh ®Cooktop Cleaner
• Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads
See the "Accessories" section for ordering information and part
numbers.

COOKTOP USE
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels. Some
of the settings will have multiple heating levels as indicated in the
following table.
Setting Recommended Use
TRIPLE-SIZE • Large diameter cookware.
ELEMENTS
(Left front cooking • Large quantities of food.
area only) • Home canning.
BOOST • Bring liquid to a boil.
(Left and right front
cooking areas only)
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate or
butter, the surface cooking area can be set to Melt for very low
temperature operation.
To keep cooked foods warm, the surface cooking area can be set
to Keep Warm.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch-activated
controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a fast and
rapid boil. Touch the "-" pad to immediately reach the High setting
after touching On. For elements with a Boost setting, press "+" to
go from High to Boost.
To Use Single-Size Elements:
1. Touch ON.
2. Touch the %" or "-" pad to increase or decrease power.
3. To choose a power level between High and Melt, touch and
hold either pad until the desired level has been reached.
4. When finished cooking, touch OFE
NOTE: Boost power level can be selected only for the left and right
front surface areas.
HIGH • Bring liquid to a boil and/or hold
a rapid boil.
• Quickly brown or sear food.
MEDIUM • Maintain a slow boil.
• Fry or saute foods.
• Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
LOW • Stew or steam food.
SIMMER • Simmer (range of simmer
temperatures).
KEEP WARM • Keep cooked foods warm.
MELT • Melt chocolate or butter.
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an
element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle
off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop
from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change
color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it
will return to its original color.
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit
Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and
condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Care"
section for additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
Cooktops with an Ultra Power TM element provide the best
speed to boil and simmering performance for large pans. For
pans 10" (25.4 cm) and larger, use the Ultra Power TM element at
BOOST (above HIGH) for the fastest boiling performance. For
the best low heat performance on pans 10" (25.4 cm) and
larger, use the Ultra Power TM element at the single element
settings.
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
