OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
Using Your Oven
- Step 1. Select oven function.
- Step 2. Set the temperature.
- Step 3. Press Start.
- Step 4. Place food inside the oven once set temperature is reached. Close the oven door.
- Step 5. (Optional) Enter time to cook.
- Step 6. The Cancel button can be used to cancel the function during or after cooking time.
NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions, see the online Control Guide.
Using Your Range
WARNING
Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so could
result in death or fire.
- The control knobs can be set to anywhere between Hi and Lo. Push in and turn to the setting.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self- Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
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 position racks with bakeware on them.
- Make sure the racks are level.
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustrations as a guide. For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
BAKING COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON 2 RACKS
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake function, a flat
rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not
have 2 flat 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 2 racks, use the Convection Bake
function, a flat rack in rack position 6, and a flat rack in rack position 3.
If you do not have 2 flat racks, use a flat rack in rack position 2 and a Max
Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. If you do not have a Convection Bake,
use the standard Bake function.
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 oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
- IMPORTANT: Do not allow aluminum foil and meat probes to contact heating elements.
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.
OVEN LIGHT
The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven
and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.
To Replace
- Disconnect power.
- Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove it.
- Remove the bulb from the socket.
- Replace the bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle the bulb. To avoid damage to or decrease the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
- Replace the bulb cover by turning it clockwise.
- Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.
WI-FI CONNECT (on some models)
Download the Whirlpool® App from the app store on your mobile phone. See the
Internet Connectivity Guide section in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed
instructions. You may also visit www.whirlpool.com/connect.
NOTE: For further information on connecting your appliance to your home Wi-Fi network, read the online Control Guide.
REMOTE ENABLE (on some models)
Select REMOTE ENABLE to enable the ability to utilize the Whirlpool® app.
