IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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.

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.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

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 Cooktop Cleaner to the

affected areas.

■ Rub 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

■ Cooktop Cleaner

■ Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads

See the “Accessories” section for part numbers and information

on ordering.

COOKTOP

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo.

Push in and turn to setting.

Ceramic Glass

The surface cooking area may glow red when an element is on.

Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when

an element is on. The glow will also randomly cycle off and back

on again, even while on Hi, to keep the cooktop from extreme

temperatures. This is normal operation.

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. Cooktop Cleaner

and the Cooktop Scraper are also recommended for stubborn

soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh

chemicals for cleaning. 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 nishes

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.

■ Use at-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and

energy efciency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or

dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking

results.

■ Determine 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.

■ 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 on the console panel is turned on, the

Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

The Hot Surface indicator light is located on the console panel.

Triple Zone Cooking Element

The Triple Zone cooking element offers exibility 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 elements and is recommended for larger

cookware, larger quantities of food, and home canning.

Dual Zone Cooking Element

The Dual Zone cooking element offers exibility 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.

Rapid Boil Element (left rear element)

The Rapid Boil cooking element offers additional cooking exibility.

The Rapid Boil cooking 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 cooking element.

Melt Element

The Melt cooking element offers exibility 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.

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

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 COOKTOP WARM ZONE ON/OFF and then

COOKTOP WARM ZONE OK.

2. To turn off, press COOKTOP WARM ZONE ON/OFF.

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before

or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

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

surfaces.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat

is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick nish

has thesame characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick nish will take on the

properties of aluminum.

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.

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.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

■ May leave copper residues, which may

be diminished if cleaned immediately

after cooking.

■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond

tothe cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain enamel

on steel or

castiron

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the

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 at-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy

efciency. 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" (1.3 cm) beyond the

surface cooking area or element.

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 two surface cooking areas or elements

at the same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only at-bottomed canners to

avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension

ofce or refer to published home canning guides. Companies

that manufacture home canning products can also offer

assistance.

OVEN

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the rst 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

nish, 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

nish, 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 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 seven 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 2½ to 3½ 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.

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

Two-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions two and ve or

three and six.

Two-rack (convection): Use rack positions two and ve or three

and six.

Three-rack (convection): Use rack positions two and seven and a

Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position ve.

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 at rack in rack position 5, and a at rack in rack

position 2. If you do not have 2 at 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 at rack in rack position 6, and a at

rack in rack position 3.

If you do not have two at racks, use a at 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.

A. Ends of rack in position 3

B. Food in position 2

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.
