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 Med or Melt. Push in and turn to the setting.

REMEMBER:
When the range is in use or (on some models) during the 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 move racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure the racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift it out. Use the following illustration as a guide.

BAKING COOKIES AND LAYER CAKES ON 2 RACKS

Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 4, and a flat rack in rack position 2. 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 two racks, use the Convect Bake function (on some models) and place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.

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 the entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow aluminum foil and meat probes to contact with 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.

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR WipeClean™ COOKTOP:

Spray the cooktop with water and let it soak for a minimum of 5 minutes, covering the entire soiled area. For heavy stains, soak it for 20-25 minutes. Use a moist non-abrasive soft sponge to wipe. Clean your cooktop after each use to avoid soil build-ups and to prolong the life of your WipeClean™ Cooktop.
To learn more about cleaning extremely tough soils refer to the Owner’s Manual or visit www.whirlpool.com/owners.

SABBATH MODE:

The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on the bake setting until disabled.
