RANGE SAFETY
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, 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 cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RANGE SAFETY
Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified techni­cian immediately.
Clean Cook-Top 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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

To get the best cooking results, you should use your range the correct way. This section tells you what you need to know to use your range safely and efficiently.

USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS

Using the control knobs
Push in the control knobs before turning them to a
setting. You can set them anywhere between HI and OFF.
Surface cooking area heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide.
SETTING HI
6-8

RECOMMENDED USE
To start foods cooking.
To bring liquids to a boil.
To hold a rapid boil.
To fry chicken or pancakes.
For gravy, pudding, and icing.
To cook large amounts of
vegetables. To keep food cooking after
starting it on a higher setting. To keep food warm until it’s
ready to serve.
Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Easy ways to save energy
Match the pan to the surface cooking area size.
The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.
Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Place a filled pan on the surface cooking area before turning it on.
Coil element model: Keep your reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)
USING YOUR RANGE
Using cookware
Use the correct cookware to prevent damage to
the surface cooking area, cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas.
If the cookware is too small for the surface
cooking area or the bottom is not flat, the surface cooking area could stay glowing red for an extended length of time causing damage to the range.
If you start cooking on high, it is important to turn
the control down to a lower setting to complete cooking.
The surface cooking area could overheat or be
damaged if a pot has boiled dry or has been left empty on a hot surface cooking area.
Using the right cookware
makes a big difference
Flat bottomed cookware, including woks,
canners, and teakettles, will provide better contact with the surface cooking area and provide the best cooking results.
Warped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed
cookware can result in uneven cooking due to incomplete contact with the surface cooking area.
Cookware that has been designed with
slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thickness) cookware. The pan material (type of metal or glass)
affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
Home canning information
To protect your range:
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.
1" 1"
Surface cooking area
centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.
Do not place your canner on 2 surface cooking
When canning for long periods of time, alternate
use of the surface cooking areas between batches to allow the areas to cool down, or prepare food in small batches.
On coil element model, keep your reflector bowls
clean so that they will always reflect heat well. Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Pan
Use the largest
surface cooking area for best results. Also, use a canner/pan that you can center over the surface cooking area and that does not extend more than one inch outside the surface cooking area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
areas at the same time. Too much heat will build up and damage the cooktop.
Start with hot water.
This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
Optional canning kit
(Coil element model)
Most water-bath or pressure canners have large diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat settings for long periods of time, you can shorten the life of regular coil elements. This can also damage the cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your Whirlpool dealer or authorized Whirlpool service company.

USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)
Using the ceramic glass cooktop
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar
to cooking on coil elements. There are, however, a few differences:
The surface cooking
area will glow red when the element is turned
HOT SURFACEHOT SURFACE
area stay at the temperature setting you chose. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged
aluminum containers on the cooktop. The container could leave aluminum marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.
Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop.
Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave marks that are difficult to remove or could leave permanent marks.
Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop
could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
Do not allow anything that could melt, such as
plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.
on. You will see the element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to help the
Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See
“Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section for more information.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each
use will help keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even heating. See “Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your Range” section for care and cleaning suggestions.
Using cookware on
ceramic glass cooktops
Check for rough spots on the bottom of
your metal or glass cookware which could scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
are clean and dry before using them. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking area. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to itself or the surface cooking area.
Hot surface indicator lights
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
One of the hot surface indicator lights on the
cooktop will glow when a surface cooking area becomes too hot to

touch. The indicator light will continue to glow as long as the surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after it is turned off.

POSITIONING RACKS AND PANS

USING YOUR RANGE
General guidelines
Follow this section carefully to get the best cooking results.
Before turning on the oven, place oven racks
where you need them. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the
front edge, and lift it out. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your
hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.
When baking/roasting on 2 racks, position racks
in oven to allow good circulation of air around all the food.
Do not place items on the oven door when it
is open.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, angel food cakes
Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroles, meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For information on where to place your
rack when broiling, see “Broiling guide” later in this section.
RACK POSITION
1st or 2nd rack guide from bottom
2nd rack guide from bottom
2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom
Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof
glassware, and dark metal pans
When baking with insulated cookie sheets
or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to in­crease the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.
When using ovenproof glassware or dark
bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F but use the same baking time. Because these pans absorb heat, produc­ing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven. When baking pies and bread, you can use the temperature suggested in the recipe.
11
USING YOUR RANGE

FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven
for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.
Place the pans so
that one is not directly over the other.
For best results,
allow 11⁄2-2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
For best baking results, bake 1 sheet of cookies
at a time.
If baking with
2 cookie sheets, use racks 2 and 4. Switch the cookie sheets to the opposite rack about 2⁄3 of the way through the baking time, then finish baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE
1 pan 2 pans
3 or 4 pans
PLACE
In center of the oven rack. Side by side or slightly
staggered. In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or casseroles:
Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack
with the food. Turn up the foil edges and make sure the foil is about 1 inch larger all around than the dish holding the food.
Do not cover the entire
rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circula­tion and give you poor cooking results.
Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack
with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of your baking.
