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 cook time.

NOTE: For more detailed instructions on specific functions, see the online Control Guide.

Using Your Range

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 setting.

REMEMBER: When 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 racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift 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 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.
Remove bulb from socket.
Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch bulb with bare fingers.
Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
Reconnect power.

IMPORTANT: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR Wipe Clean™ 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 Wipe Clean™ 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.

For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath Mode, visit www.star-k.org or contact us as per the information provided above.

WI-FI CONNECT (on some models)

Press and hold CONNECT while your router’s WPS indicator light is blinking to connect your range to your Wi-Fi network.
See the Internet Connectivity Guide section in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed instructions. You may also visit www.whirlpool.com/home-innovations /connected-appliances/connect.
