3 Important Safety Instructions Gas ranges have been thoroughy tested for safe and effiiient operation. However, as with any appiance, there are specific instaation and safety precautions which must be foowed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation. To reduce the rak of fire, eectrica ahock, Injury to persons, or damage when uang the range, foow bask precautions, incuding WARNING: If the information In this manua is not foowed exacty, a fire or exposion may resut causing property damage, persona injury or death. Do not store or use gasoine or other fammabe vapors and iquids in the vicinity of this or any other appiance. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: Do not try to ight any appiance. Do not touch any eectrica switch; do not use any phone in your buiding. Immediatey ca your gas suppier from a neighbor s phone. Foow the gas suppier s instructions. If you cannot reach your gas suppier, ca the fire department. Instaation and service must be performed by a quaified instaer, service agency or the gas suppier. Genera Insta or ocate the range ony in accordance with the provided Instaation Instructions. The range must be instaed by a quaified instaer. The range must be propery connected to the proper gas suppy and checked for eaks. The range must aso be propery connected to eectrica suppy and grounded. Gas fues and their use in appiances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formadehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primariy from incompete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Propery adjusted burners with a bue, rather than a yeow, fame wi minimize incompete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open window wi further minimize exposure. Do not store things chidren might want above the range. Chidren coud be burned or injured whie cimbing on it. Do not eave chidren aone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They shoud never be aowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They coud be burned or injured. Do not operate the range if it is damaged or no1 working propery. continued on next page 3

4 Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons coud be burned or injured, or a fire coud start. Do notattempt to ight the oven burner during a power faiure. Persona injury coud resut. Reset oven contros to the off position in the event of a power faiure. Use the range ony for its intended use as described in this manua. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR SURFACE BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause bums. During and after use, do not touch, or et cothing or other fammabe materias contact surface burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven unti they have had sufficient time to coo. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window. Do not store fammabe materias on or near the range. The fumes can create an exposion and/or fire hazard. Do not use the oven for storage. Never use a match or other fame to ook for a gas eak. Exposion and injury coud resut. Know where your main gas shutoff vave is ocated. When using the cooktop Make sure the utensis you use are arge enough to contain food and avoid boiovers and spiovers. Heavy spattering or spiovers eft on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especiay important in deep fat frying. Check to be sure gass cooking utensis are safe for use on the range. Ony certain types of gass, gass-ceramic, ceramic, eatthenware or other gazed utensis are suitabe for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Never eave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boiover coud resut and cause smoking and greasy spiovers that may ignite. Do not wear oose or hanging garments when using the range. They coud ignite if they touch a hot surface burner and you coud be burned. Use ony dry pothoders. Moist or damp pothoders on surface burners may resut in burns from steam. Do not et pothoder touch surface burners. Do not use a towe or buky coth for a pothoder. It coud catch on fire. Keep range vents unobstructed. Do not heat unopened containers. They coud expode. The hot contents coud cause burns and container partices coud cause injury. Turn pan handes inward, but not over other surface burners. This wi hep reduce the chance of bums, igniting of fammabe materias, and spis due to bumping of the pan. Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners. When using the oven Aways position the oven rack(s) in desired ocation whie oven is coo. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or repacing food. 4

5 Grease Grease is fammabe. Do not aow grease to coect around cooktop or in vents. wipe spiovers immediatey. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a faming pan. Smother faming pan by covering with a we-fried id, cookie sheet or fat tray. Faming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if avaiabe, a mutipurpose dry chemica or foam-type extinguisher. Care and ceaning Sma amounts of formadehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Sef-Ceaning cyce from fibergass insuation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spis prior to sef-ceaning. Do not use oven ceaners. No commercia oven ceaner or oven iner protective coating of any kind shoud be used in or around any part of the oven. Before sef-ceaning the oven, remove broier pan, broier grid, oven racks and other utensis. Do not use your oven to cean misceaneous parts uness you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide. Do not cean door heat sea. It is essentia for a good sea. Care shoud be taken not to rub, damage or move the sea. Cean ony parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide. Do not repair or repace any part of the range uness specificay recommended in this manua. A other servicing shoud be referred to a quaified technician. Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appiance to satisfactoriy meet the appication needs must be made by a Whirpoo Distributor or Quaified Agency. Disconnect the eectrica suppy and the gas suppy at the shutoff vave near the range before servicing the range. - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - 5

This section gives Using the surface burners Your range is equipped with eectric ignitors. Eectric ignitors automaticay ight the burners each time they are used. Push in contro knoba and turn them to the LITE position. The cicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visuay check that burner hao it. To stop the cicking sound after the burner ights, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. The contro knob has stops for HI, MED and LOW. However, you can set the contro knob anywhere between HI and OFF. Surface burner markers The soid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob. Burner heat settings Use correct burner heat settings (see next page). If the heat setting is too high, it can: Char bacon and cause curing.. Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges. Toughen I wer, fish and seafood. Scorch deicate sauces and custards. Cause a boiover.

8 Unti you get used to the oettings, uoe the foowing as a guide. For best resuts, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the contro knob down to continue cooking. SETTING RECOMMENDED USE LITE To ight the burner. After the burner ights, turn contro back to a desired setting to stop the cicking of the ignitor. HI MED LOW To start foods cooking. To bring iquids to a boi. To hod a rapid boi. To fry chicken or pancakes. For gravy, pudding and icing. To cook arge amounts of vegetabes. To keep food warm unti ready to serve. NOTE: Do not cook with the contro in the LITE position. In case of a proonged power faiure Surface burners can be manuay ighted. Hokf a it match near a burner and turn the contro knob to the LITE position. After the burner ightr, turn the contro knob to the desired setting. Burn, Fire, Exposion and Product Damage Hazard Burner fame shoud not extend beyond the edge of the cookfng utensi. The fame can burn you and cause poor coodng resuts. Be sure a contro knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone coud be burned or a fire coud start if a burner is accidentay eft ON. If the fame shoud go out whie cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear before reighting burner. If gas odor is sti present, see safety note on page 3. Faiure to foow these precautions coud resut in exposion or fire. Do not eave an empty utensi, or one which has boied dry, on a hot surface burner. The utensi can overheat and may damage the utensi or cookfng product. Cookware tips There is no one brand of cooking utensi that is best for a peope. Knowing something about pan materias and construction wi hep you seect the correct cooking utensis for your needs. NOTE: For best resuta and greater fue eff i- ciency, use onfy fat-bottomed utensis that make good contact with the surface burners. Utensis with rounded, warped, ridged (porceain ename-ware) or dented bottoms coud cause severe overheating, which damages the utensi and/or surface burner. Woks, canners and teakettes with fat bottoms suitabe for use on your cooktop are now avaiabe in most stores that se housewares. The pan shoud have straight sides and a tightfitting id. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairy ightweight. The pan materia (meta or gass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan materia and how eveny heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking resuts. Handier shoud be made of a sturdy, heatresistant materia and be securey attached to the pan. Pans shoud be easy to cean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might coect. Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are fu or empty. Use utensis ony as they were intended to be used. Foow pan instructions. This is very important for gass cookware because some shoud be used ony in the oven. Other pans are marked as fameware and may be used on the surface burners. Home canning information The arge diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for ong periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your range: For best resuits, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner. Do not piace canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat wi buid up and wi damage the cooktop. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the contro is set on high. Reduce heat setting to owest position needed to keep water boiing. 8

9 Positioning racks and pans For baking/roasting with one rack., pace the rack so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Rack pacement for specific foods: FOOD Frozen pies, arge roasts, turkeys Ange and bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroes, meats RACK POSTON 1 st or 2nd rack guide from bottom 2nd rack guide from bottom Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2nd or 3rd rack cakes, nonfrozen pies guide from bottom When baking on two racks, arrange racks on first and third rack guides from bottom. NOTE: For recommended rack pacement when broiing, see Broiing rack position chart on page 16. 6th oven rack position (roasting rack) When roasting food too arge to be paced in oven with rack in owest position, pace rack on bottom of oven. For proper roasting, foow these guideines: The rack must be eve. Use adequate amount of iquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone. Do not try to pu rack out over door. Rack wi be at the same eve as door when door is opened. Persona Injury Hazard Aways position oven rack(s) in desired ocation before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is eve. If rack(s) must be moved whie oven is hot, use pothoders or oven mitts to protect hands. Do not pace items on the open oven door. Be carefu when instaing and removing arge food items from sixth rack position. Food wi be cose to hot surfaces, incuding oven bottom and sides. Faiure to foow the above precautions may resut in persona injury. 6th oven rack position

10 For best air circuation Hot air must circuate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach a parts of the oven. This resuts in better baking. Pace the pans so that one is not directy over the other. For best resuts, aow 1 G-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven was. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Use the foowing as a guide to determine where to pace the pans. One pan Pace in the center of the oven rack. Two pans Pace in opposite corners of the oven rack Three or four pans Pace in opposite comers on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directy over another. NOTE: Oven peeking may cause heat oss, onger cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting resuts. Use a reiabe kitchen timer to keep track of the cooking time.

If you want food to broi sower from the start, push the Broi pad and push the V Temp pad so a Lo setting shows in the sma dispay. This burner setting aows the broi burner to cyce and provides sow cooking. BROIL and HEAT wi ight up in the dispay. Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook better if you use ower broiing temperatures. Broiing tips Use the broier pan and grid for broiing. They are designed to drain excess iquid and fat away from the cooking surface to hep prevent spatter, smoke or fire. f you broi sma quantities, you may want to use a sma broier pan. They are avaiabe in the housewares section of many department stores. For best broiing resuts, preheat at HI for 5 minutes. Do not preheat with broier pan in pace. Broiing rack position determines how the burner cooks your food. The ower the position, the more broier grid area covered. See Broiing rack position chart on page 16 for more information. To sear meat, pace broier pan at one of the higher rack positions so that meat is very near the fame. Sma steaks may be broied in the higher rack positions. To cook arge steaks and other thick cuts of meat we done, move them to a ower rack position after searing. Refer to a broiing chart in a reiabe cookbook for correct broiing times. After broiing, remove the broier pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings wi bake on the pan if you eave it in the heated oven. 15

16 Fire Hazard Pace meat the correct distance from the burner. Meat paced too cose to the burner may spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during broiing. To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or simiar pans for 1 broiing. Aso, covering the broier grid with 1 foi is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease may resut in fire.

27 Using The Sef-Ceaning Cyce I In This Section Paw Page How the cyck work Setting the contros Before you sbart Specia tipm The Sef-Ceaning cyce saves you from the toi and mess that often come with hand-ceaning the oven interior. Like with the other functions of your range, you operate the Sef-Ceaning cyce with the easyto-use contro. Pease review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotess. How the cyce works The Seff-Ceaning cyce uses very high heat to burn away soi and grease. During the cyce, the oven gets much hotter than it does for norma bakfng or broiing. This high heat breaks up the soi or grease and bums it away. We recommend a 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. However, you can adjust the cyce time to the amount of soi in your oven. You can set the cyce anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting the contros on page 28.) The graph at the right is representative of a norma, 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes onger for the oven to coo enough to unock Before you start Before you start the Seif-Ceaning cyce, make sure you: Hand-cean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the ceaning cyce for soi to bum away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy stee-woo pad for ceaning. NOTE: DO NOT cean, move or bend the sea. Poor ceaning, baking and roasting may resut. Hand-cean DO NOT handcean 87rF (46612) OVENDHUTOFF - LooKa frame sm Hand-cean door around edgo 27

28 Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: You can cean the broier pan and grid in the oven if you have first removed most of the soi by hand-ceaning or a dishwasher. if most of the soi is not removed, too much smoking wi occur. Wipe out any oose soi or grease. This wi hep reduce smoke during the ceaning cyce. Remove the oven recks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can cean the oven racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, but they wi become harder to side. (See page 34.) If you cean racks in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, pace them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) Heat and odors are norma during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. Keep the kitchen we ventiated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cyce. I Persona Injury and Product Damage Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. t coud bum you. Do not use commercia oven ceaners in your oven. Ceaners may produce hazardous fumes or damage the porceain finish. Do not eave foi in the oven during the Sef-Ceaning cyce. Foi can burn or met and damage the oven surface. NOTE: Do not force the Lock Lever. You coud bend or break it. The ever is designed to stay ooked unti the oven is coo enough to safey open. Wait unti it moves freey. Do not bock the vent during the Sef-Ceaning cyce. Air must move freey for best ceaning resuts. Do not eave pastic utensis near the vent. They may met. Setting the contros 1.

Specia tips Keep the kiichen we ventiated during the Sef-Ceaning cyce to hep get rid of heat, odors and smoke. After the oven Is coo, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp coth or sponge. If any spots remain, cean with a mid abrasive ceanser or midy abrasive pad. Cean the oven before it gets heaviy soied. Ceaning a very soied oven takes onger and resuts in more smoke than usua. if the Setf-Ceaning cyce does not get the oven as cean as you expected, the cyce may not have been set ong enough or you may not have prepared the oven propery. Set the Sef-Ceaning cyce onger the next time and hand-cean areas noted on page 27. Caring For Your Range In This Section Paw Surfse burner grates Ceaning chti Surface burners and cooktop Using and repacing ths ight buba Paw Your range is designed for ease of care. You can do most ceaning with items found around your home. Ceaning your range whenever spis or soiing occurs wi hep to keep it ooking and operating ike new. Burn, Eectrica Shock, Fire and Exposion Hard Make sure a contros are OFF and the range is coo before ceaning. Do not use oven ceaners, beach or rust removers. Do not obstruct the fow of combustion and ventiation air. Faiure to foow these guideines coud resut in burns, eectrica shock, fire or exposion. 31

32 Surface burner grates 1. Make sure a surface burners are off and the surrounding parts are coo. 2. Lii off the surface burner grates. 3. Wash the grates with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Use a nonabrasive, pastic scrubbing pad for cooked-on foods. Rinse and dry we. 4. Repace burner grates. Surface burners and cooktop The range and burner box areas are speciay designed to make ceaning easier. Because the four burners are seaed, ceanups are easy and convenient. To cean the cooktop, wipe with a damp spongeanddry. Product Damage Hazard Do not remove the cooktop. Doing so coud resut in product damage. Ceaning the contoured we areas The contoured we is a recessed area ocated around each burner. If spis occur in the contoured we section, bot up spi with a paper towe. Wipe with a cean, damp sponge and dry. Be carefu when ceaning the cooktop area or around the burner base. Ceaning utensis can catch the ignitor and damage or break it. If this part is damaged or broken, the surface burner wi not ight. To protect the ignitor, eave the burner cap in pace. 32

33 Ceaning the burners The burner caps shoud be routiney removed and ceaned. Aways cean the burner caps after a spiover. Keeping the burner caps cean wi prevent improper ignition and an uneven fame. To cean, pu the burner cap straight up from the burner base. Remove the trim ring (if equipped) and burner pan. (Burner pan and trim ring must be repaced over burner base before repacing burner cap. Do not operate burners without burner pan and trim ring in pace.) Cean burner cap, trim ring and burner pan with warm, soapy water and a sponge. You can aso cean with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or ceanser. Do not cean burner cap, trim ring or burner pan in a dishwasher or sef-ceaning oven. For proper fow of gas and ignition of the burner, DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS TUBE OPEN- ING. If the opening or the orifice, ocated inside the opening, becomes soied or cogged, use a cotton swab or a paper towe to cean the area. Gas must fow freey through the sma hoe in the brass orifice for the burner to ight propery. This area must be free of any soi and be kept protected from boiovers or spiovers. ALWAYS keep the burner caps in pace whenever a surface burner is in use. After ceaning the gas tube opening, repace the burner cap, trim ring and burner pan. Occasionay check the burner fames for proper size and shape as shown. A good fame is bue in coor. If fames ift off ports, are yeow, or are noisy when turned off, you may need to cean the burners. ff ports are cogged, cean with a straight pin. Do not enarge or distort port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. f adjustment is needed, ca a quaified technician for service. To repace burner cap, make sure cap is propery aigned and eveed. Find the recessed ocating tabs on the burner cap (see iustration) and pace cap over the white ignitor in the burner base.
