IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating  
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly installed  
elements should never be immersed in water.  
and grounded by a qualified technician.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments  
should never be worn while using the range.  
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam  
escape before removing or replacing food.  
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.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.  
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame  
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
For self-cleaning ranges –  
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.  
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.  
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat  
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers  
that may ignite.  
Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.  
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and  
other utensils.  
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.  
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.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.  
Push in and turn to setting. Use the following chart as a guide  
when setting heat levels.  
(on some models)  
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner  
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also  
help catch spills.  
SETTING  
RECOMMENDED USE  
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (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

between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could  
break when the lid is removed.  
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when  
an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle  
on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also  
randomly cycle off and back on again, even while on High to  
keep the cooktop from extreme temperatures.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep  
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On  
cooktops with light colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may  
be more visible, and may require more cleaning and attention.  
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended. For  
more information, see “General Cleaning” section.  
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers  
on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that  
cannot be removed completely.  
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 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 leave a hot lid on the  
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped  
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 ½" (1.3 cm)  
outside the area.  
Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.

C. ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang  
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.  
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.  
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the  
broiler.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.  
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.

A. Oven vent  
Preheating  
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and  
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the 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.  
Preheat temperatures are affected by varying factors such as  
room temperature and peak energy usage times. It is normal for  
the temperature showing on the display and the actual oven  
temperature to differ.  
Cook & Hold  
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. A meat thermometer is not supplied with this  
appliance. Follow manufacturer's directions for using a meat  
thermometer.  
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.  
Baking  
Cook & Hold allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time  
of day, cook for a set length of time, followed by a 1-hour Keep  
Warm cycle.  
The oven automatically regulates the heat levels and both the top  
and bottom elements cycle on and off accordingly during preheat  
and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal  
cooking results.  
Delay Start should not be used for food such as breads and  
cakes because they may not bake properly. Do not use delayed  
baking if oven is already hot.  
To Bake or Roast:  
Before baking, position the racks according to the “Positioning  
Racks and Bakeware” section.  
To Set Cook & Hold:

RANGE CARE  
Self-Cleaning Cycle  
(on some models)  
Prepare Oven:  
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,  
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.  
WARNING  
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.  
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.  
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,  
damaging the oven.  
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area  
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to  
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough  
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,  
etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this  
area.  
Burn Hazard  
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Keep children away from oven during  
Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.  
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.  
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,  
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not  
affect cooking performance.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to  
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to  
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds  
to another closed and well-ventilated room.  
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil  
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.  
Prepare Cooktop:  
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may  
melt.  
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to  
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.  
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air  
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see  
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.  
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The  
door gasket is essential for a good seal.

2. Service calls to repair or replace appliance light bulbs, air filters or water filters. Consumable parts are excluded from warranty  
coverage.

4. Damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, fire, flood, acts of God, improper installation, installation not in  
accordance with electrical or plumbing codes, or use of consumables or cleaning products not approved by Whirlpool.  
5. Cosmetic damage, including scratches, dents, chips or other damage to the finish of your major appliance, unless such damage

6. Any food loss due to refrigerator or freezer product failures.  
7. Costs associated with the removal from your home of your major appliance for repairs. This major appliance is designed to be  
repaired in the home and only in-home service is covered by this warranty.  
8. Repairs to parts or systems resulting from unauthorized modifications made to the appliance.

10. The removal and reinstallation of your major appliance if it is installed in an inaccessible location or is not installed in accordance  
with published installation instructions.  
11. Major appliances with original model/serial numbers that have been removed, altered or cannot be easily determined. This warranty  
is void if the factory applied serial number has been altered or removed from your major appliance.  
The cost of repair or replacement under these excluded circumstances shall be borne by the customer.
