General
l Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided Installa­tion Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. The range must also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.
l Gas fuels and their use in appliances
can cause minor exposures to benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from incomplete combus­tion. Significant exposure to these substances could cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a yellow, flame will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open window will further minimize exposure.
l Do not store things children might want
above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
l Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended 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 operate the range if it is dam-
aged or not working properly.
l Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury couM result. Reset oven controls to the off position in the event of a power failure.
l Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l Do not touch surface burners, areas near
surface burners or interior surfaces of oven. Areas near surface burners 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 burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns.
l Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could be burned.
l Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch an open flame. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed. l Do not heat unopened containers. They
couM explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

l
Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line reflector pans, oven bottom, or any other part of
the range. Use aluminum foil only as
recommended in this manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a
gas
leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located.
When using the oven
l
Always position the oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool.
l
Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cook-top or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
When using the
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and bum you. Pan size is espe­cially important in deep fat frying.
*Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. 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
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite.
cookto~
‘-@-#ii&
*Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.
l
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Fla,ming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipur­pose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
l
Small amounts of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Self­Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances could cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to self­cleaning.
l
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.

9 Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks and other utensils. Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide.
l Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen-
tial 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.
- READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
l Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifiilly recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
l Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a Whirlpool@ service company or Qualified Agency.
l Disconnect the electrical supply and the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
range before servicing the range.

Burn, Fire, Explosion and
Product Damage Hazard
l Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame could burn you and cause poor cooking results.
l Be sure all control knobs are turned
to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON.
l If the flame should go out while cook-
ing, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five
minutes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 3.
Failure to follow these precautions could result in explosion or fire.
l Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
burner. The utensil could overheat and
could damage the utensil or cooking
product.

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product:
l
Use
pans with flat bottoms, straight sides
and tight-fitting lids.
l
Cook
with a minimum of liquid or fat to
help shorten cooking time.
. Preheat
pans only when recommended
and for the shortest time possible.
l
Start
food on higher heat settings, then
set surface burner control on low to finish
cooking.
l
Use
the more efficient surface burners
instead of the oven when possible.
l
Turn on
the surface burner only after

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-cleaning
the oven interior. Like with the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self-Cleaning
cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.
Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self­Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven. You can set the cycle anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See “Setting the controls” on page 27.)
The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock.

Before you start

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:
l
Hand-clean the areas shown,
not get hot enough during the cleaning
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad
for cleaning.
NOTE:

l
Remove any pots and pans
being stored
in the oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan
and grid in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning
or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not
removed, too much smoking will occur.
l
Wipe
out
any loose
soil
or grease.
This
will help reduce smoke during the cleaning
cycle.
l
Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You
can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide.
(See page 34.) If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.)
l
Heat and odors
are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
*Do not touch the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.
l
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners could produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.
l
Do not leave any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn
or melt and damage the oven surface.
