Grates
The grates on this range cover the full width of the cooktop. The two grates may interlock (on some models), using the hook formed into one end of both grates. The flat end of one grate drops onto the hook on the other grate as shown in the following illustration. On some models, the two grates are identical and can be used on either the left or right side of the cooktop. Grates that are designed for use on only one side of the cooktop will have either LEFT or RIGHT embossed on the bottom side of the grate.
Griddle
Griddle installed on right side of cooktop
To Use the Griddle
- Locate the griddle on the right side grate as shown.
- The locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
- Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep food from sticking.
- Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove
- Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
- For preheating and cooking, set the front burner to the lowest heat setting and the rear burner to Medium-High heat for best performance.
- NOTE: The griddle may also be used on the left side grate. For best results, the rear burner setting should be set to Medium Low or Medium, and the front burner setting should be set to Low.
To Clean the Griddle
- Let the griddle cool, and then empty the drip tray.
- Store griddle in a cool dry place.
AquaLift Self Cleaning Technology
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 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 finishes 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 for more detailed instructions. For additional information, frequently asked questions and videos on using Aqua Lift 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.
Baking, 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.
Sealed Surface Burners
IMPORTANT
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner
grate edges.
Burner cap
Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the NOTE Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.
Alignment
Be sure to align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch in the burner base.
- A. Burner cap
- B. Gas tube opening
- C. Burner base
- D. Orifice holder
- E. Igniter electrode
Gas tube opening
Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube opening by always using a burner cap.
- A. 1-1 1/2 (2.5-3.8 cm)
- B. Burner ports
Burner Ports
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown in the previous illustration. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean
IMPORTANT
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Do
not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
- Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean.
- Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
- Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown.
- Do not enlarge or distort the port.
- Do not use a wooden toothpick.
- If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.
Replace the burner base. The burner bases and caps must be properly positioned before cooking. Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size. See the following illustration for burner positions
- A. Medium (Semi Rapid)
- B. Large (Ultra Rapid)
- C. Medium (Semi Rapid)
- D. Small (Auxiliary)
- E. Large (Ultra Rapid)
Replace the burner cap, making sure it is properly aligned with the burner base. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. The burner cap should not rock or wobble when properly aligned.

IMPORTANT
The bottom of the small and medium caps are different. Do not put the wrong
size burner cap on the burner base.
NOTE
Each round burner base is marked with a letter indicating the burner size.
- Small cap Auxiliary
- Medium cap Semi
- Large cap Ultra Rapid
Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, turn off the burner. Do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
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/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 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.
For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
- Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
- Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
- 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
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the cooking cycle
- Gas valves may make a popping sound when opening or closing.
- Igniters will click several times until a flame is sensed.
- A poof sound is heard when a bake or broil burner ignites.
- 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.
- NOTE: On some models: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware
The oven has seven positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.
IMPORTANT
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.
- A. Ends of rack in position 3
- B. Food in position 2
IMPORTANT
These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used,
the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.
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.
Multiple Rack Cooking
- Two-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
- Two-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.
- Three-rack (convection): Use a flat rack in rack positions 4 and 6 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 3.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Connect Bake, or Convict 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.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE
On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection
bake mode to improve oven performance.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management 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 bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use. Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the 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.
Broiling
No preheating is necessary, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT
- Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
- Changing the temperature when Custom 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. Use rack position 6 if using the roll out rack.
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.
NOTE
Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven
is heavily soiled.
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. 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. During convection cooking, the bake and broil burners, convection (true convection only) element and fan cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
NOTE
The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes into any convection
cycle. 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. The oven
door must be closed for convection broiling.
Position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware before starting convection cooking. With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. These adjustments can be made using the following chart or by using the Easy Convict Conversion feature on your range.
Bow Tie True Convection with T.H.E Element
True convection adds an electric element around the convection fan to enhance the cooking performance. This feature enables three-rack baking in your range. Use the following Convect Options chart as a guide.
Convect Options
EasyConvect Conversion
Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EasyConvect conversion automatically reduces the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. Foods are grouped into four general categories. Choose the category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. Use the following chart as a guide.
