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.

COOKTOP USE  
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.  
WARNING  
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.  
Fire Hazard  
Turn off all controls when done cooking.  
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.  
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.

A
C
A. Surface cooking area  
B. Cookware/canner  
C. ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang  
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and  
LOW. Push in and turn to setting.  
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.  
REMEMBER: When range is in use, the entire cooktop area  
may become hot.  
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.  
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 High, 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 Care” section for  
additional information.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)  
Melt Element  
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.  
The Melt Cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of  
settings between High and Melt. The High 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.

Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
characteristics.  
COOKWARE  
Aluminum  
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 grates.  
CHARACTERISTICS  
Heats quickly and evenly.  
Suitable for all types of cooking.  
Medium or heavy thickness is best for  
most cooking tasks.  
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.  
Cast iron  
Heats slowly and evenly.  
Good for browning and frying.  
Maintains heat for slow cooking.  
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.  
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.  
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 ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area.  
Home Canning  
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface.  
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.  
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.  
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or  
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend  
more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or  
element.  
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension  
office, or refer to the USDA Home Canning Guides. Companies  
that manufacture home canning products can also offer  
assistance.

casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the split-  
rack.  
1. Place a full rack in the lower section of the oven and position  
the split-rack above it.  
2. Place large items on the right side of the full rack.  
3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.

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  
ACCUBAKE® Temperature Management System  
Preheating  
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 preheating to provide the best results. This  
feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.  
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.  
When START is pressed, 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) is approximately 10 to  
15 minutes, depending on the model. Factors that have an impact  
on preheat times are: room temperature, starting oven temperature,  
and the number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed  
prior to preheating your oven to reduce preheat time.  
Rapid Preheat  
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one  
standard flat 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 Rapid  
Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.  
Broiling  
Leave the door open 6" (15 cm) at the broil stop position to ensure  
proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes before  
putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe.  
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of  
the oven rack.  
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, fish  
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.  
When broiling on the low or medium settings, the broil element will  
cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.  
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to  
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.  
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.  
Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.  
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is  
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.  
Convection Cooking

elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven

convection elements on and off in intervals while the fan circulates  
the hot air. 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.  
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.  
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.  
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.  
TimeSavor™ Plus Convection

RANGE CARE  
Clean Cycle  
5. Press CANCEL at the end of the cycle. CANCEL may be  
pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.  
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or  
cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of  
the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 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.  
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, odor-  
free 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.  
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 filtered water. Tap water may  
leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.  
2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto  
the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.  
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 floor.  
Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more  
difficult 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 difficult soils. For best  
results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.  
Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.  
affresh™ Kitchen Appliance Cleaner and affresh™ Cooktop  
Cleaner may be used to clean the oven bottom, walls and door  
when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room  
temperature. Refer to the “Accessories” section for information  
on ordering.  
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.  
Additional AquaLift™ Technology Cleaning Kits may be  
obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. See the  
“Accessories” section for more information.

repair labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship. Service must be provided by a Whirlpool designated service company. This  
limited warranty is valid only in the United States or Canada and applies only when the major appliance is used in the country in which it

to obtain service under this limited warranty.

house fuses, or to correct house wiring or plumbing.  
2. Service calls to repair or replace appliance light bulbs, air filters or water filters. Consumable parts are excluded from warranty  
coverage.  
3. Repairs when your major appliance is used for other than normal, single-family household use or when it is used in a manner that is  
contrary to published user or operator instructions and/or installation instructions.  
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  
results from defects in materials or workmanship and is reported to Whirlpool within 30 days from the date of purchase.  
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.  
9. Expenses for travel and transportation for product service if your major appliance is located in a remote area where service by an

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.
