IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 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.

■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

■ WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

■ 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.

■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.

■Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

■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.

■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.

■Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the appliance.

■Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.

■Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

■Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

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. Wipe off all excessive spillage before initiating the cleaning cycle.

For units with ventilating hood –

■Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

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 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 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, 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.

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 D

	C
B		E
A. Small (S)	C. Oval	D. Medium (M)
B. X-Large (XL)		E. Large (L)

Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in the burner base.

C. Burner base

Place the burner caps on the appropriate burner bases. Each round burner cap is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.

Small cap (S) Medium cap (M) Large cap (L)

X-Large cap (XL)

Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.

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 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.

13

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

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.

OVEN

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 guides.

See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

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 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.

15

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.

Baking and Roasting

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 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 the “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.

Steam Bake

The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam into the oven cavity during the Steam Bake cycle. There are

3 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts, and Fish as well as a Refresh/Reheat option.

For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available rack position in the cavity and pour 11/2 cups (350 mL) of water into the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on

the reservoir.

After the Steam Bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.

B.Water reservoir

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 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 is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 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.

16

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. Depending upon the selected cooking mode, EasyConvect™ conversion can automatically reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. If you choose not to use the EasyConvect™ conversion, use the following table as a guide.

Convection Mode	Time/Temperature 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

Convect Options

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

Proofing Bread

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).
