AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology Cooktop Use

WARNING

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 exclusive 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 traditional self-cleaning methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See the “Clean Cycle” section in the Owner’s Manual 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 Temperature

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

Storage Drawer, or Baking Drawer (On Some Models)

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.

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so could result in death or fire.

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 Hi, 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 Maintenance and Care” section in the Owner’s Manual 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 entire 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.

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.

Cooktop On Indicator Light

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel. When any control knob/cooktop element on the console panel is turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located on the console panel.

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

Triple Zone Cooking Element

The Triple Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine the single, dual, and outer element and is recommended for larger cookware, larger quantities of food and home canning.

A.Triple

B.Dual

C.Single

NOTE: On some models: Settings are marked on the control knob.

Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)

The Dual Zone Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

A.Dual

B.Single

Rapid Boil Element (on some models)

The Rapid Boil Element offers additional cooking flexibility. The Rapid Boil element can be used to boil liquids faster. The lowest melt setting can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or sauté foods and to keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil Element.

A.Lower heat option

B.Rapid Boil option

Melt Element

The Melt Cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of settings between Hi and Melt. The Hi heat option can be used to boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting, turn the knob clockwise. The Melt setting is designed for delicate foods that require low heat, such as when melting chocolate or holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt Cooking element.

A.Melt option

B.Hi heat option

Warm Zone Element

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

The Warm Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. However, the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop Warm Zone element 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.Press COOKTOP WARM ZONE ON/OFF to select the warming element on the cooktop, and then press COOKTOP WARM ZONE CONFIRM.

2.Press COOKTOP WARM ZONE ON/OFF again to turn off the warming element.

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.

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

COOKWARE

Aluminum

Cast iron

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

Copper

CHARACTERISTICS

■See stainless steel or cast iron.

■Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.

■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 smooth top 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 2 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.

OVEN USE
