KEY USAGE TIPS

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology is a rst-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 nishes 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.

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.

FEATURE GUIDE

This manual covers several models. Your model may have some or all of the items listed. Refer to this manual or the Product Help section of our website at www.whirlpool.com for more detailed instructions.

COOKTOP USE

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 lled cookware on thegrate.Do not operate a burner using empty cookware orwithout cookware on the grate.

The ame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

To Set:

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 ame.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HIGH and LOW.

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

Sealed Surface Burners

A. Burner cap B. Burner base C. Alignment pins

NOTE: The oval burner base is permanently attached to the burner cap.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the ow 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 ames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas Tube Opening: Gas must ow 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 E. Gas tube opening

Power™ Burner Feature

The front burner is designed to give maximum power when fully on. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.

AccuSimmer® Burner Feature

The AccuSimmer® feature allows for more precise simmering andlow temperature cooking. It is the right rear burner.

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.

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

Burner Ports: Check burner ames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good ame 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.

1. Remove the burner cap and the burner base, and clean according to “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.

Be sure to return the grates to their normal (down) position once cleaning is complete.

The grates are removable for cleaning. To attach the grates to their hinges, insert the grate slot over the

hinge pin on the side of the cooktop. Be sure to keep the grate angled above the cooktop to avoid scratching the cooktop until the grate is seated on the hinge pin. Then position the grate down onto the cooktop.

A. Grate slot B. Hinge pin

4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

A. Incorrect B. Correct

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

EZ-2-Lift™ Hinged Cast Iron Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be ush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.

Your cooktop comes with hinged grates for easier cleaning. The grates pivot to the side for easy access under the grates.

The grates will stop once they are moved to their vertical (fully open) position. A 20" (50.8 cm) minimum clearance from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets/appliances is needed to fully open the grates.

Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the gas ame.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best ts your cookware. See the following illustration and chart.

Oval

Front of Range

Burner Size Recommended Use

Small

Medium Large Extra Large

Oval

■ Low-heat cooking

■ Melting chocolate or butter

■ Multipurpose burner

■ For large cookware

■ Most powerful burner

■ For longer dishes

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and a well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough nishes 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 grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred which affects cooking results.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under thebroiler.

Check for atness 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.

■ 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.

7 6 5 4 3

The oven has 7 positions for a at 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, sh 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 at rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

* 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.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a at rack in rack position 2 and 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 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a at rack in rack position 2, and aMax Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6.

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.

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

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for at racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous gure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

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

Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.

Baking and Roasting

ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System

The ACCUBAKE® 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.

The convection fan will not be on during the rst 5 minutes of the cycle.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to “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™ Technology

Frozen Bake™ Technology can be used to cook prepackaged frozen food without needing to preheat the oven and without overbrowning the food. There are 4 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets/Fries, and Pie. Frozen Bake™ Technology should only be used for these foods. Cook only 1 package at a time when using Frozen Bake™ Technology. Use the recommended temperature and maximum recommended time from the packaging.

A beep will alert you to check the food’s doneness before the cook time is completed and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add to the cook time or end thecycle.

Preheating

When START is pressed, “LO” will be displayed and the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF (38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the selected temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) will be approximately 10-15 minutes, depending upon the model.

Rapid Preheat

Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard at oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. Press RAPID PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press RAPID PREHEAT. The Preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven and should be used only for one-rack baking. When the Power Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake 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, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, sh, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to

drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

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

Convection Cooking

TimeSavor™ ranges Convection (Fan) cooking cycles the bake burner on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. TimeSavor™ Plus Convection (True) cooking adds an electric ring element around the fan to provide more even heating and enables baking with three racks at one time. 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.

IMPORTANT: With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. This range automatically reduces the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) for convection cooking.

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.

NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.

TimeSavor™ Plus Convection (True) and TimeSavor™

Convection (Fan)

When convection baking, broiling, or roasting, enter your normal baking temperature. The control will automatically reduce the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C).

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, sh, or poultry

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, odorfree 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 ltered water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.

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 ltered 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 oor.

■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more

difcult 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 difcult soils. Forbest results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.

■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.

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.

4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.

5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
