SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

InJury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, lncludlng l l l

Read all instructions before using the range.

Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided

Installation Instructions. It is rec- ommended that the range be installed by a qualified installer.

The range must be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.

0 Do not use the range for warm- ing or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start. l faces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot- holder. They could catch on fire.

Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders.

Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency. l

Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured. l

Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. l

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range.

They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit or heating ele ment and you could be burned. l

Make sure the reflector bowls are in place during cooking.

Cooking without reflector bowls may subject the wiring and components underneath them to damage. l

0 Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifi- tally recommended in this man- ual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Do not store flammable mate- rials in or near the range. They could explode or burn.

0 Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Do not heat unopened con- tainers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

Do not clean door seal. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the seal.

Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.

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.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks and other utensils.

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - l l

Do not store things children might want above the range.

Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

Do not touch surface units, areas near units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven. Surface units and heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units and 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 surface units, areas near units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. 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.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control

Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change.

Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But when compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:

1.

Pull the Oven Temperature Control

Knob straight off.

2. Loosen the locking screw. Note the position of the notches.

To avold sickness and food waste when using the MEALTIMER’” control:

Do not use foods that will spoil while waltlng for cooklng to start, such as dlrhes with mllk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or flsh. Any food that has to watt for cooklng to start should be very cold or frozen before It Is put In the oven. MOST UNFROZEN FOODS SHOULD NEVER STAND

MORE THAN TWO HOURS BEFORE COOKING STARTS.

Do not use foods contalnlng baking powder or yeast when using delay start. They will not rise properly.

Do not allow food to remaln In oven for more than two hours affer end of cooklng cycle.

Other Operating Hints

l l l

If you want to check what you have programmed, press the button for the function you want to check. The Display will show what you have programmed for that function.

If you want to check the time of day, press the Min/Sec Timer and Bake Hours

Buttons. The Display will show the time of day.

A rapidly flashing indicator light indicates an error in programming. Cancel any entries and begin again.

The Oven Vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent under the right rear surface unit. You can cook on the unit, or keep food warm on it while the oven is on.

Burn Hazard

It you leave a utensil on the right rear surface unit, use potholders when movlng It. Pan handles can become hot enough to burn.

Plastic utensils left over the vent can melt.

The vent is needed for air circulation.

Do not block the vent. Poor baking can result.

Optional Rotisserie

If you would like a rotisserie for your oven, you can order a kit (Part No.

261881) from your Whirlpool Dealer. The kit includes easy installation instructions.

Optional Door Panel Pat

If you would like to change the color of your oven door glass to white or almond (Model RS675PXV only], you can order one of these kits: White (Kit No.

814069) or Almond (Kit No. 814070) from your Whirlpool Dealer. The kits include easy installation instructions.

Caring for your range

Control Panels and Knobs

Bum and Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are OFF and the range

Is cool before cleaning. Fallure to do so can result In bums or electrltal shock.

1.

Pull knobs straight off.

2. Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to wipe the control panel. Rinse and wipe dry.

3. Wash control knobs in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Do not soak.

4. Push control knobs straight back on. Make sure they point to OFF.

18

Surface Units and Reflector Bowls

Removing

Burn and Electrlcal Shock Hazard

Make sure all surface units are OR before removlng surface units and reflector bowls.

Fallure to do so can result In burns or electrlcal

1.

Turn off all surface units. 2. Lift the edge of the unit, opposite the receptacle, just enough to clear the element hold down clip and the reflector bowl.

3. Pull the surface unit straight away from the receptacle.

4. Lift out the reflector bowl. See

“Cleaning Chart” on page 24 for cleaning instructions.

Replacing

l l

Burn, Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Make sure all surface units are OFF before replacing surface units and reflector bowls. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

Do not line the reflector bowls with toil. Flre or electrical shock could result.

1.

Turn off all surface units. 2. Line up openings in the reflector bowl with the surface unit recep- tacle and the element hold down clip.

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible with the terminal just started into the receptacle. Push the surface unit terminal into the receptacle.

4. When terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the surface unit opposite the receptacle. The ele- ment hold down clip will keep the surface unit from moving around.

NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils on the surface units.

They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.

If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some of the utensils may not be flat enough, or some may be too large for the surface unit. In either case, some of the heat that’s meant to go Into or around a utensil goes down and heats the reflector bowl. Thls extra heat can discolor It. See Cooking

Guide for further lnformatlon.

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely.

Before You Start

1.

Clean the areas shown by hand.

They do not get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel wool pad on... l l

The inside of the door. (The center area of the door does not need to be hand cleaned.]

The frame around the oven.

DO NOT clean, move or bend the flberglass seal. Poor cleaning and poor baklng will result.

2. Remove the broiler pan and any pots and pans you may have stored in the oven.

NOTE: The broiler pan (without grid) can be cleaned in the oven only if most of the soil has been removed by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. The chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

3.

Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

4. If the oven has a rotisserie, make sure the motor socket cover is closed.

5. It you want the oven racks to remain shiny, remove from the oven and clean by hand. Other- wise, put oven racks on second and fourth guides (guides are counted from bottom to top). After racks are cleaned in the Self-

Cleaning cycle, they become harder to slide. See chart on page 24. Chrome reflector bowls must not be cleaned in the oven.

They will discolor.

CLEAN DOOR

Turn on the vent hood or other kitchen vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

This will helo remove heat and odors that are normal durina the cycle. l l l

Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard

How It Works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off.
