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 AquaLift ® Self-Cleaning Technology, an exclusive 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 traditional self-cleaning methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See the “Clean Cycle” section in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed instructions. For additional information, frequently asked questions and videos on using AquaLift Self-Cleaning Technology, visit our website at http://whirlpoolcorp.com/aqualift. ®
Surface Temperature
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs
and oven door.
Storage Drawer, or Baking Drawer (On Some Models)
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.
Cooktop Use
WARNING| | Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so could result in death or fire.
---|---|---
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.
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 a
normal operation. It may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.
It is normal for the surface of the 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 Maintenance and Care” section in
the Owner’s Manual for additional information.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot completely be removed.
-
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 use the cooktop as a cutting board.
-
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2″ (1.3 cm) maximum overhang -
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.
-
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.
-
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/cooktop element on the console panel is
turned on, the Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
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 the cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking
the area is turned off.
Dual Zone Cooking Element (on some models)
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 elements and is recommended for
larger size cookware.
Warming Center Element
Use the Cooktop Warming Center element to keep cooked foods warm. One hour is
the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.
Do not use it to heat cold foods.
The Warming Center element can be used alone or when any of the other surface
cooking areas are being used.
The Warming Center element area will not glow red when cycling on. However,
the Element On light will glow while the Cooktop Warming Center element is in
use.
- Use only cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.
- Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.
- To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.
- Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove food.
To Use:
- To turn on, press WARMING CENTER ON/OFF and then press COOKTOP WARM ZONE CONFIRM.
- To turn off, press WARMING CENTER ON/OFF again.
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. 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.
COOKWARE | CHARACTERISTICS |
---|---|
Aluminum |
- Heats quickly and evenly.
- Suitable for all types of cooking.
- Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
- May leave aluminum residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
Cast iron|
- Heats slowly and evenly.
- Good for browning and frying.
- Maintains heat for slow cooking.
- Rough edges or burrs may scratch the cooktop.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass|
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
- Heats slowly, but unevenly.
- Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
- May scratch the cooktop.
Copper|
- Heats very quickly and evenly.
- May leave copper residues, which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking. 1
- Can leave a permanent stain or bond to the cooktop if overheated.
Earthenware|
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
- Use on low heat settings.
- May scratch the cooktop.
Porcelain enamel-on steel or cast iron|
- See stainless steel or cast iron.
- Porcelain enamel bakeware without the metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.
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 1/2″ (1.3 cm) outside the area.
Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass-smooth top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. 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.
- Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
- 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.
- 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
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when
it is heavily soiled.

6
|
Broiled meats, poultry, fish
3 or 4
|
Most baked goods, casseroles
2
|
Roasted meats
1
|
Large roasts or poultry
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.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 5; or 3 and 6.
3-rack (true convection only): Use rack positions 1, 4, and 7; or 2, 4, and 6.
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.
Baking and Roasting
Precision Cooking™™ System – Precise Bake
The Precise Bake 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 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.
Preheating
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.
Power Preheat
Power Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard
flat rack should be in the oven during Power Preheat. Extra racks should be
removed prior to starting Power Preheat. Press POWER PREHEAT and follow the
oven control prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press
POWER PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in
the oven and should be used only for one rack of baking. When the Power
Preheat cycle is complete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
Broiling
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in, unless
recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on the grid in a broiler
pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or
if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when
cooking. The lower the broil setting is, 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.
In lower 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. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.
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 bread.
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.
During convection cooking, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on
and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan
circulates the hot air.
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.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
EvenAir™™ True Convection
When convection baking, broiling, or roasting enter your normal baking
temperature. The control will automatically reduce the set oven temperature by
25°F (15°C).
Convect Options
Convect Bake – Multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, bread, casseroles,
tarts, tortes, cakes.
Convect Broil – Thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or
poultry.
Convect Roast – Whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts.
