WHIRLPOOL RANGE
WARRANTY
Before you use your range
You are responsible for:
l Reading and following all safety precautions in this Use and Care Guide and
the Cooking Guide.
l Installing and leveling the range on a floor strong enough to support its weight,
and where it is protected from the elements. (See the Installation Instructions.)
l Making sure the range is not used by anyone unableto operate it properly.
l Properly maintaining the range.
l Using the range only for jobs expected of a home range.
l Making sure the range is secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket, with
a rear leveling leg positioned under bracket.
Remove the Consumer Buy Guide label. It will be easier to remove before the
range is used. To remove any remaining glue:
l Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then remove.
or
l Soak area with liquid hand dishwashing detergent before removing glue
as described above.
Do
not
use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive
cleaners. These can damage the finish. See “Important Safety Instructions”
on page 3.
IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
l Read all instructions before using
the range.
l Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the ran e be installed by a qualifie 8 installer. The
ran 3 e must be properly connet ed to electrical supply and
grounded.
. To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance, the appliance must
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. To check if
the bracket is installed properly,
remove the storage drawer (see
page14 I and venfy that the antitip brat et is engaged.
l Do not use the range for warmin
8 or heating the room. Persons cou d
be burned or injured, or a fire
could start.
. Do not leave children 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. They could be
burned or injured.
l Do not wear loose or hanging gar-
ments when using the range. They
could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit or heating element and
you could be burned.
l Do not repair or replace any part
of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicin 3 should be referred
to a qualified echnician.
l Do not store flammable materials
in or near the range. They could
explode or burn.
l Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flamin
by covering wit a well-fitted lid,
pan on cooktop
.9:
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or,
if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
l 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
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
l Select a pan with a flat bottom
that is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller than
the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and
may result in the igniting of
clothing or potholders. Correct
pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
l Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill-avers
that may ignite.
l Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain types of
glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
l Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping of the
pan.
l Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
food.

p
Do not heat unopened containers
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury
Keep range vents unobstructed.
Always position 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 clean door seal. It is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the seal. Clean only parts
recommended in this Use and
Care Guide.
Do not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven cleaner or over
liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks and other utensils. Do
not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
Do not store things children might
want above the range. Children
could be burned or Injured while
climbing on it.
- SAVE THESE
l Do not touch surface units, areas
near units, heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven. Surface
units and heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near surface units
and 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 surface
units, areas near units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Other surfaces of the
range may become hot enough
to cause burns; such as, the oven
vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, the cooktop and
the oven door.

Solid element surface units
Before using a solid element surface unit for the first time, heat on HI setting for
five minutes. The surface units will give off smoke as the protective coating,
applied at the factory, finishes bonding to the surface.
Solid element surface units are made of heavy cast-iron to provide even
cooking. Each surface unit has a built-in protective limiter as a safety feature.
The limiter senses uneven cooking temperatures and automatically reduces
the heat level. The limiter will sense uneven heat when a pan boils dry or when
a pan is removed and the surface unit is left on. The heat level may also be
reduced automatically if the bottom of the pan is not flat or if the pan is too
large or too small for the element. This will result in longer cooking times.
Solid elements hold heat longer than conventional surface units. For best
cooking results, use a high setting for only a short period of time. Then use a
lower setting to complete the cooking. You may want to turn the solid
element surface unit OFF a few minutes before you finish cooking.
Burn, Fire and Personal Property Damage Hazard
l
Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all Indicator lights are
OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire
could start If a surface unlt is accidentally leff ON.
l
Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do not use the HI setting for
long perlods of time or leave pans on hot elements when cooking is
done. Burned food and damage to the cookware could result.
Cookware
Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent
boil-overs and hot handles.
Use only flat-bottomed utensils. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between
the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or
with raised patterns on the bottoms are not suitable.
w1ff-1 sklrts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.
To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom
of each piece. Rotate the straight-edge across the bottom. If light shows anywhere between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.
See the Cooking Guide for additional cookware information.
Burn Hazard
If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by
the heat from the exposed section of the surlace unit. Use correctly
sized utensils to prevent injury.
Do not use trivets, woks
