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 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://whirlpoolcorp.com/ aqualift.

Surface Temperatures

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.

Surface Burners

The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before cooking. Your range comes with three 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. Small (AUX) B. X-Large (UR)

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. Medium D. Medium (SR)

E. Wok

Warming 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.

A. Burner cap B. Gas tube opening C. Burner base

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

Temperature Calibration

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure the oven

temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect cycling of the elements and impact the temperature.

The oven provides accurate temperatures and has been thoroughly tested at the factory. However, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, causing baking or browning differences. If necessary, the temperature calibration can be adjusted in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide.

NOTE: The oven display will continue to show the original set temperature and will not reﬂect the calibration offset. For example, if set to 350°F (177°C) and calibrated to -20, the display will continue to show 350°F (177°C).

Adjust the oven temp up to (+,-) 30°F (-18°C) It is recommended to make changes in 5°F (3°C) increments until

desired results are achieved.

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1. Press the Tools keypad.

2. Select MORE MODES.

3. Select TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION.

4. Scroll from left to right to increase or decrease the

temperature.

COOKTOP

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to Ignite.

Before setting a control knob, place ﬁlled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

To Use:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to Ignite.

All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to Ignite will produce a ﬂame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

A. Burner cap B. Gas tube opening C. Burner base

Gas Tube Opening: Gas must ﬂow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil, and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.

D. Igniter electrode E. Oriﬁce holder

REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power Failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner, and then turn knob counterclockwise to Ignite. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner Cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven ﬂames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover, and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

NOTE: Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.

Alignment: Be sure to 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.

NOTE: Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.

A. 1" to 11/2" (2.5 cm to 3.8 cm) B. Burner ports

Burner Ports: Check burner ﬂames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good ﬂame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil, and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off

and the cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base, and clean

according to the “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown.

Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

4. Replace the burner base. Each round burner base is marked

with a letter indicating the burner size. See the following illustration for burner positions.

The surface grates interlock using the hook on one end of the grate and the indent on the other. To remove the grates, lift the rear of the left grate off the hook, and then lift the front of the right grate off the hook and pull apart. To replace the grates, replace the left grate ﬁrst. Place the front indent of the right grate over the hook of the left grate, and then lift the rear of the left grate and place the indent over the hook on the right grate.

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.

on stainless steel provides even heating.

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" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Cookware Characteristics

Aluminum

■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking.

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best

for most cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residues

which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.

Cast iron

■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying.

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch

the cooktop.

Ceramic or ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low-to-medium heat

settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

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 two 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

7 6 5 4 3

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.

* 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.

A. Ends of rack in position 3 B. Food in position 2

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.

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.

The oven has 7 positions for a ﬂat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Flat Rack Position* Type of Food

7 Broiling/searing meats,

hamburgers, steaks 6 Broiled meats, poultry, ﬁsh 3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles,

frozen foods 2 Roasted meats 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. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Side 1 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 41/2 to 51/2 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Multiple Rack Cooking

Two-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

Two-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. Three-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max

Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a ﬂat rack in rack position 5, and a ﬂat rack in rack position 2. If you do not have two ﬂat racks, use 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.

Baking Cookies

For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Convection Bake function, a ﬂat rack in rack position 5, and a ﬂat rack in rack position 2.

If you do not have two ﬂat racks, use a ﬂat rack in rack position 2 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6.

If you do not have Convection Bake, use the standard Bake function.

Oven Vent

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.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake 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.

Rapid Preheat

Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard ﬂat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.

IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.

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.

Frozen Bake™

Frozen Bake™ Technology automatically adjusts the manufacturer’s bake time by combining preheating and baking, to deliver great packaged frozen food results without the wait. There are six programmed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets, Fries, Pie, and Meal. The Frozen Bake™ cycles have been customized to work only with these foods. When using Frozen Bake™ Technology, it is important that you follow all manufacturer’s instructions including venting, covering, stirring or placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good result. When cooking frozen meals, only cook items that provide instructions for cooking in a conventional oven. Place your dish in the center of the rack and select one of the rack positions recommended for Frozen Bake™ in the Positioning Racks and Bakeware section and bake only one package or pan at a time. Use the temperature and maximum bake time from the package.

A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the cook time is complete and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add additional cook time if desired or end the cycle.

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 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.

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. Use the following chart as a guide.

Convection Mode Time/Temp. 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

Oven Light

The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.

RANGE CARE

Clean Cycle

AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.

Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.

To Clean:

1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity,

and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils.

2. Pour 13/4 cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or ﬁltered water

onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.

IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.

3. Press AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven

control panel.

NOTE: Do not start Self Clean before oven has cooled down.

4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cooldown. A beep will

sound when the Clean cycle is complete.

5. Press the Cancel keypad at the end of the cycle. Cancel may

be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.

6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge

or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 13/4 cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.

7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch

scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils.

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.

NOTES:

■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface

of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.

■ For best results, use distilled or ﬁltered water. Tap water

may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.

■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the

end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the ﬂoor.

■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more

difﬁcult to remove with the Clean cycle.

■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser-style cleaning pads

(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difﬁcult soils. For best results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.

■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.

■ Affresh

Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh® Cooktop Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has ﬁnished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the “Accessories” section for information on ordering.

■ Additional AquaLift

Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the “Accessories” section for more information.
