• 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
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.
• 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.
• This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
• Disconnect power before servicing.

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.
• Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
• Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
For self-cleaning ranges -
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and
other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before
initiating the cleaning cycle.

AquaLift ®Self-Cleaning Technology
( 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:llwhirlpooleorp.comlaqualift.
Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot,
such as the knobs and oven door.
Baking 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.
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.

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 Medium-
Low or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to
Low.
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-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.
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.

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 or the coil element.
Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) beyond the
surface cooking area or element.
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.
Earthenware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Use on low heat settings.
• May scratch the cooktop.
Stainless steel
Heats quickly, but unevenly.
A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.

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.

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. 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.
7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
steaks
3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen
foods
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 21/2to 3V2minutes. 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.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies 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.

Oven Vent
Baking and Roasting
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 CLOCK/TOOLS 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 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."
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°0).
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 CLOCK/TOOLS. 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.
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
"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 in to
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 1Y2cups (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.
To Deactivate Sabbath Mode:
Press CLOCK/TOOLS, and then press "7" to return to regular
baking, or press CANCEL for the desired oven to turn off the
range.
16
Broiling
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
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.
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: Ifthe 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 PROOR
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).
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 TM conversion can automatically reduce the standard
recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. If
you choose not to use the EasyConvect TM conversion, use the
following table as a guide.
