IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion could result causing property damage, personal injury, or death.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

l

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Do not try to light any appliance.

l

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

l

Immediately call your gas. supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

l

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

General l

Install or locate the range only in accor- dance with the provided Installation

Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. The range must also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded. l

.Gas fuels and their use in appliances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot, primarily from incomplete combus- tion. Significant exposure to these sub- stances could cause cancer or reproduc- tive harm. Properly adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a yellow, flame will minimize incomplete combustion.

Venting with a hood or an open window will further minimize exposure.

Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it. l

Do not leave children alone or unat- tended 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

Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly. l l

Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. Personal injury could result. Reset oven controls to the off position in the event of a power failure. l

Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual. l

Do not touch surface burners, areas near surface burners, or interior surfaces of oven. Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of ,3n oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, cr let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface burners, areas near surface burners, or interior surfaces of (oven until they have had sufficient time lo cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven vent open- ing, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, and the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns. l

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could bc burned. l

Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch an open flame. Do not use a towel o bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire. l

Keep range vents unobstructed. l

Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury. l l

Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard.

Do not use the oven for storage. l

Do not use aluminum foil to line areas around surface burners, oven bottom, or any other part of the range. Use aluminum foil only as recommended in this manual. l

Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result. l

Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located. continued on next page 5

When using the cooktop l

Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boil- overs and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range could ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying. l l

Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite. l

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipur- pose dry chemical or foam-type extin- guisher.

Care and cleanina l

Small amounts of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Self-

Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation and food decomposition. Significant expo- sure to these substances could cause cancer or reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning. l l

Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface burners. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.

When using the oven l l

Always position the oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool.

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

Grease l

Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately. l l

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 unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care

Guide.

l

Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen- tial 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. l

Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. l

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a Whirlpool service company or Qualified Agency. l

Disconnect the electrical supply and the gas supply at the shutoff valve near the range before servicing the range.

Using Your Range

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface burners

Your range is equipped with electric ignitors.

Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time they are used.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SElTING

LITE

Push in and turn counterclockwise

HI

RECOMMENDED USE l

To light the burner. After the burner lights, turn control back to a desired setting to stop the clicking of the ignitor. l l

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium

Push in control knob and turn counter- clockwise to the LITE position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visually check that burner has lit.

To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. The control knob has stops for HI, Medium, and Low. However, you can set the control knob anywhere between HI and OFF.

Low l

To hold a rapid boil. l l

To fry chicken or pancakes.

For gravy, pudding, and icing. l

To cook large amounts of vegetables. l

To keep food warm until ready to serve.

NOTE: Do not cook with the control in the

LITE position.

Surface burner markers

The solid dot in the surface burner marker shows which surface burner is turned on by that knob.

In case of a prolonged power l l q 0 failure

Surface burners can be manually lighted.

Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

Burner heat settings

Use correct burner heat settings. If the heat setting is too high, it can: l l l l l

Char bacon and cause curling.

Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.

Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.

Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

Cause a boilover.

Explosion Hazard l

Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame could burn you and cause poor cooking results. l

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON. l

If the flame should go out while cook- ing, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 4.

Failure to follow these precautions could result in explosion or fire.

NOTE: Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The utensil could overheat and could damage the utensil or cooking product.

Cookware tips

No one brand of cookware is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the correct cookware for your needs. l l l l l l l

The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burners through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges, or areas where food might collect.

Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are full or empty.

Use: cookware only as it was intended to be used. Follow pan instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some should be used only in the oven.

Other pans are marked as flameware and may be used on the surface burners.

Home canning information

The larger diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

. For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner. l

NOTE: For best results and greater fuel efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook- ware in good condition.

10 l l l

Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.

Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on HI. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be cen- tered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD RACK POSITION

Frozen pies, large 1st or 2nd rack roasts, turkeys, angel guide from bottom food cakes l l l

For proper roasting, follow these guidelines:

The rack must be level.

Use adequate amount of liquid (meat juices or water) so food does not get overdone.

Do not try to pull rack out over door. Rack will be at the same level as door when door is opened.

Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroles, meats

2nd rack guide from bottom

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies

2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on first and third rack guides from bottom.

To change rack position, pull rack to the stop, raise the front edge, and lift out.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on page 19.

Extra oven rack position

(roasting rack)

Personal Injury Hazard l

Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level. l

If rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to protect hands. l

Do not place items on the open oven door. l

Be careful when installing and remov- ing large food items from extra oven rack position. Food will be closer to hot surfaces, including oven bottom

, and sides.

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in personal injury.

Extra oven rack position

When roasting food too large to be placed in oven with rack in lowest position, place rack on bottom of oven.

11

For best air circulation

l l l

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other.

For best results, allow 1 M-2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one time.

Use the following as a guide to determine where to place the pans:

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven rack.

Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

Broiling tips

l l

Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling.

They are designed to drain excess liquid and grease away from the cooking surface to help prevent spatter, smoke, or fire.

If you broil small quantities, you may want to use a small broiler pan. They are avail- able in the housewares section of many department stores. l

Broiling rack position determines how the burner cooks your food. The lower the position, the more broiler grid area covered. See “Broiling rack position chart” below for more information. l

To sear meat, place broiler pan at one of the higher rack positions so that meat is very near the flame. l

Small steaks may be broiled in the higher rack positions.

. To cook large steaks and other thick cuts of meat well done, move them to a lower rack position after searing.

3 Medium and well-done steaks and hamburg- ers; well-done foods such as chicken, lobster, ham slices, and pork chops

*After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.

Drippings will bake on the pan if you leave it in the heated oven.

Fire Hazard l

Place meat the correct distance from the burner. Meat placed too close to the burner could spatter, smoke, burn, or catch fire during broiling.

‘To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or similar pans for broiling. Also, covering the broiler grid with foil is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease could result in fire.

Q-

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product: l

Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides, and tight-fitting lids. l

Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time. l l

Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface burner control on low to finish cooking. l

Use the more efficient surface burners instead of the oven when possible. l

Turn on the surface burner only after placing filled pan on the burner grate. l

“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times, and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time. l l l l l

Bake cakes, pies, or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a meal has been cooked in the oven.

Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.

Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.

Do not preheat when roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.

Keep reflector pans clean for best heat reflection.

Using the electronic MEALTIMERTM control

The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven, such as meats and casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for cakes, cookies, etc. - undercooking will result.

Before using the electronic MEALTIMER control, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See ‘Setting the clock” on page 14.)

To avoid sickness and food waste when using the MEALTIMER’” clock:

*Do not let most UNFROZEN food stand for more than two hours before cooking starts. l Do not allow food to remain in oven for more than two hours after the end of cooking cycle.

NOTE: Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start. Such foods are: dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, and cooked meats or fish. Also, foods containing baking powder or yeast will not rise properly when cooked using delay start.

The oven vent

NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any of the surface burners.

Oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent located in lower pat-t of backguard. The vent is needed for air circula- tion. Do not block the vent. Poor baking/ roasting will result.

Burn Hazard

When the oven is ON, pans and pan handles left near the oven vent could become hot enough to burn the user and to melt plastics.. Use pot holders to move

24

The storage drawer

You can remove the storage drawer to make it easier to clean under the range and to check for installation of the anti-tip bracket(s).

Use care when handling the drawer.

Removing the storage drawer: Replacing the storage drawer:

/

Drawer roller

1. Empty drawer before removing. Pull drawer straight out to the first stop. Lift the front and pull out to the second stop.

2. Let the drawer rest on the floor. Place hands toward the back of the drawer and lift it out.

1. Place the set of rollers on the drawer behind the rollers on the range as shown at right.

2. Line up the drawer slide rail with the guides on the range and push the drawer back into position.

25

The anti-tip brackets

The range will not tip during normal use. However, tipping can occur if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket(s) properly secured.

Personal Injury Hazard

*To reduce risk of range tipping over, secure range with properly installed anti-tip bracket(s) supplied with range.

*If range is moved for cleaning or service, check that anti-tip bracket(s) is engaged before using range.

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in personal injury.

26

Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand- cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your range, you operate the Self-

Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use controls.

Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

Before you start

l l l

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

Cleaning cycle.

Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide.

(See page 36.) If you clean racks in the

Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides, (Guides are counted from bottom to top.)

Heat and odors are normal during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent duringthe cycle.

Hand-clean frame

DO NOT hand-clean seal

Hand-clean door around edge

h d

l l

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.

Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven.

NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan

(without grid) in the oven if you have first removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur. The chrome broiler grid will discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Burn Hazard l

Do not touch the oven during the Self-

Cleaning cycle. It could burn you. l

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners could produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish. l l l l l

NOTES:

Do not force the Lock Lever. You could bend or break it. The lever is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.

Do not block the vent during the Self-

Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent.

They may melt.

Do not leave any foil in oven during the

Self-Cleaning cycle Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

Make sure the oven light is off during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Keeping the oven light on will shorten bulb life.

27

Setting the controls

To start cleaning immediately:

1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day.

(See “Setting the clock” on page 14.)

2. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right -the Clean position.

3. Press the Self-Clean button.

A 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle will be set automatically.

NOTE: If the Self-Clean button is pressed when the door is not latched, “door” will appear on the large display. Move the

Lock Lever all the way to the right to latch the door. If any other command button is pressed when the door is latched, “door” will appear on the large display and you will be unable to continue. Move the Lock

Lever back to the left to unlatch the door after the LOCK Indicator Light goes off.

PRESS

To delay the start:

1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day.

(See “Setting the clock” on page 14.)

2. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right -the Clean position.

DO NOT FORCE IT. Wait until it moves easily. l l

Special tips

Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the

Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

After the oven is cool, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp cloth or sponge.

If any spots remain, clean with a mild abrasive cleanser or cleaning sponge. l l

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.

Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

If the Self-Cleaning cycle does not get the oven as clean as you expected, you may not have prepared the oven properly.

Hand-clean areas noted on page 27.

30

How the cycle works

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil and grease. During the cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for normal baking or broiling. This high heat breaks up the soil or grease and burns it away.

The graph at the right is representative of a normal, 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes longer for the oven to cool enough to unlock.

3. Wipe surface under the cooktop with warm, soapy water and a sponge. Use a soapy steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.

4. Replace cooktop by fitting studs on back of cooktop into guide holes in rear vertical supports. Lower front of cooktop. Avoid hitting the control panel. Replace reflector pans and surface burner grates.

33

Surface burners

1. Remove the cooktop, following the instructions on page 33.

2. Wipe off surface burners with warm, soapy water and a sponge after each use.

To remove cooked-on food, soak the burners in a vinegar and water solution for

20-30 minutes. Scrub with a plastic scrubbing pad.

3. If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the ports.

Cleaning chart

Use the following table to help you clean your range.

Troubleshooting

Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind. Check the lists below and on the next two pages before calling for assistance or service. If you still need help, see “Requesting Assistance or Service” on page 41.

If nothing operates, check the following:

Is the range plugged into a live outlet with the proper voltage? (See Installa- tion Instructions.)

Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?

Is the range properly connected to gas supply? Contact an authorized

Whirlpool service company to reconnect range to gas supply. (See Installa- tion Instructions.)

Have you set the control knob or electronic control correctly?

Is the flow of combustion and/or ventilation air to the cooktop blocked?

Other possible problems and their causes:

PROBLEM

Cooking results are not what you expected

The display is flashing

CAUSE l

The range is not level. (See Installation Instructions.)

*The oven temperature seems too low or too high. See

“Adjusting the.oven temperature control” on page 17 to adjust oven temperature. l

You did not preheat the oven before baking (if called for in recipe). l

You are using a recipe that has never been tested or is not from a reliable source. l

You are using a pan that is not the correct type or size.

Refer to a reliable cookbook or recipe for recommended pan type and size. l There is not enough air space around pan when baking.

Allow 1 I/Z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of air space on all sides of pan. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch.

*The cooking utensil is too large or too small for the surface burner being used. Pan should be the same size or slightly larger than the surface burner being used.

‘The flame is not the correct size for the cooking utensil being used. l

If broiling, you have not completely closed the oven door.

The broiler provides the best cooking results with the oven door closed.
