• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in areas where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Wear Proper Apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

• User Servicing — Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Storage in or on Appliance — Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

• This appliance is not intended for storage.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires — Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

• Use Only Dry Potholders — Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the 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 these areas are the coil elements, the cooktop, and the surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Use Proper Pan Size — This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. 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 the 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 —The 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 Cook-Top — If the cook-top 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 — A build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

• Placement of Oven Racks — Always places oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in the 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 the 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.

• Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting heating elements.

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.

RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Clean Cycle

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), it will appear on 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

2. Pour distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven, and close the oven door.
   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.

3. Press CLEAN or AQUA LIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.

4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.

5. Press CANCEL, CANCEL UPPER, or of at the end of the cycle. Cancel, Cancel Upper, or Off 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.

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.

• 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. If affresh® Cooktop Cleaner is used, it is recommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

• Additional AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kits may be obtained by ordering Part Number W10423113RP. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

• For assistance with AquaLift® Technology, call 1-877-258- 0808 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada, or visit our website at http://whirlpoolcorp.com/aqualift.
