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 flam being foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOP USE

This manual covers several different models. The range you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations and appearances of the features shown here may not match those of your model.

Cooktop Controls

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between High and Low. Push in and turn to setting. On some models, the surface cooking area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
HIGH ■ Start food cooking.
■ Bring liquid to a boil.
Medium-High Between
Medium and HIGH
■ Hold a rapid boil.
■ Quickly brown or sear food.
Medium (6) ■ Maintain a slow boil.
■ Fry or sauté foods.
■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.
Medium Low Between
Medium and LOW
■ Stew or steam food.
■ Simmer.
LOW ■ Keep food warm.
■ Melt chocolate or butter.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

■ Starting in June 2018 Whirlpool is equipping this product with new temperature-limiting coils pursuant to the updated standards in UL858. These new coils may vary cooking times compared to your old cooktop, e.g., a slightly longer time to boil large volume of water.

NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.

2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:
1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, slowly push the coil element terminal into the receptacle.
3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

  • Center the canner on the element. Canners should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) beyond the element.
  • Do not place canner on 2 elements at the same time.
  • For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

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 grates. 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 cooktop or grates.

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.
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
Cast iron ■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying.
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
Copper ■ Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or cast iron ■ See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel ■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.

OVEN USE

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. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door and element or burner cycling may give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven.

To Set Oven Temperature:
Push in and turn oven control knob to desired temperature setting.

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 rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2″ (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.

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.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not move 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, then lift out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.

FOOD RACK POSITION(S)*
Large roasts, turkeys, angel food, bundt cakes, quick breads, pies 1 or 2
Yeast breads, casseroles, meat and Poultry 2
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes 2 or 3

*On models with the CleanBake feature, foods may be placed on a lower rack position.

BAKEWARE

Hot air must be able to circulate around food to cook evenly, so allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

NUMBER OF PAN(S) POSITION ON RACK
1 Center of rack.
2 Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4 Opposite corners on each rack. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

BAKEWARE/RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS
Light-colored aluminum
■ Light golden crusts
■ Even browning
■ Use temperature and time recommended in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark,  dull and/or nonstick finish
■ Brown, crisp crusts
■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly.
■ Use suggested baking time.
■ For pies, breads and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe.
■ Place rack in center of oven.
Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans
■ Little or no bottom Browning
■ Place in the bottom third of oven.
■ May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel
■ Light, golden crusts
■ Uneven browning
■ May need to increase baking time.
Stoneware/Baking stone
■ Crisp crusts
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Ovenproof glassware, ceramic glass or ceramic
■ Brown, crisp Crusts
■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly.

Meat Thermometer

A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer’s directions for using a meat thermometer. On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness.

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

Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
To Bake or Roast:

  1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting. The Oven Heating light will turn on and remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature.
  2. Place food in oven. The bake element will turn on and off to maintain cooking temperature. The Oven Heating light will turn on and off with the element.
  3. Turn oven control knob to OFF when finished.

Broiling

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

  • For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. They are designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan,  one may be ordered. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.
  • For proper draining, do not cover the grid with aluminum foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
  • Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
  • Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
  • After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
    Before broiling, position rack according to the Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe.

To Broil:

  1. Position food on grid in the broiler pan then place it in the center of the oven rack.
  2. Close the door.
  3. Push in and turn oven control knob to BROIL.
  4. After broiling, turn the oven control knob to OFF.

BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3″ (7 cm) or more from the broil element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for individual foods and tastes.  Recommended rack positions are numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
