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.

■ 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 cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

■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.

■Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

■Clean Cooktop 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 flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Melt. Push in and turn to setting.

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

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation. It will also randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.

It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

■■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

■■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

■■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

■■ Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

■■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the cooktop.

■■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

■■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

C

A.Surface cooking area

B.Cookware/canner

C.1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang

■■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

■■ Determine 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.

■■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

■■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

■■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

Warm Zone

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Use the cooktop Warm Zone to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

Do not use it to heat cold foods.

The Warm Zone can be used alone or when any of the other surface cooking areas are being used.

The Warm Zone area will not glow red when cycling on. However, the Cooktop On indicator light will be displayed when the Warm Zone is in use.

■■ Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.

■■ Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

■■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.

■■ Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.

To Use:

1.To turn on, press WARM ZONE and then the Start keypad.

2.To turn off, press WARM ZONE.

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. 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.

			metal base may bond to the cooktop if
			overheated.
	Stainless steel	■■	Heats quickly, but unevenly.
		■■ A core or base of aluminum or copper
			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. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

■■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.

■■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■■ 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.

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 move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration as a guide.

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

Flat Rack Position	Type of Food
5	Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
	steaks, or toast.
4	Broiling thicker cuts of meat, poultry, fish
3 or 4	Frozen prepackaged foods, most baked
	goods, and casseroles.
1 or 2	Large roasts or poultry

Multiple Rack Cooking

Two-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 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 4, and a flat rack in rack position 2. 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 on Two Racks

For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the Bake function and place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.

Oven Vent

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.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a 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.

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.

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.

11

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.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for two minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, 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 racks 4 or 5 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. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

RANGE CARE

Steam Clean

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives with Steam Clean.

The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning and is not intended to clean heavy or difficult soils. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as possible after spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the oven, the more difficult it may be to remove.

Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C), “HOT” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.

■■ Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.

■■ For best results, pour 12 oz (355 mL) of distilled or filtered water onto the oven bottom.

■■ The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 50 minutes. “End” will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.

Press the Cancel keypad at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.

Helpful Hints

■■ Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.

■■ Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven cavity interior sides, and cooktop.

■■ Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. This may help with more stubborn stains.

■■ If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help loosen debris for easier removal.

■■ Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.

■■ Food spills containing sugar, proteins, or starches may require vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.

■■ It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.

12

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. For additional information, you can visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of our website at www.whirlpool.com. In Canada, refer to the Customer Service section at www.whirlpool.ca.

Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

■■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad:

Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

■■ Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included):

See the “Accessories” section for more information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels.

Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

Cleaning Method:

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

■■ Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included):

See the “Accessories” section for more information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because the paint surface may stain.

CERAMIC GLASS

Cleaning Method:

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.

■■ For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.

■■ Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.

Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.

2.Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh® Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas.

■■ Rub affresh® Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.

■■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.

3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

■■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.

The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order and includes the following:

■■ Cooktop Scraper

■■ Affresh® Cooktop Cleaner

■■ Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads

■■ Affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included):

See the “Accessories” section for more information.

13

OVEN RACKS Cleaning Method:

■■ Steel-wool pad

■■ For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide,

a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.

STORAGE DRAWER (on some models)

Check that storage drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.

Cleaning Method:

■■ Mild detergent

OVEN CAVITY

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser can be used on a cool cavity.

If using commercial oven cleaners, follow package directions.

Oven Light

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

To Replace:

1.Unplug range or disconnect power.

2.Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.

3.Turn bulb counterclockwise to remove from socket.
