Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Gas ranges have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any

appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed to

ensure safe and satisfactory

operation.

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

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

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

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

• Immediately

call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.

Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• 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

• Install or locate the range only in accordance 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.

• Gas fuels and their use in appliances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances could cause cancer or reproductive 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.

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.

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

• 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.

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

• 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 burns.

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

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

• 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 or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire.

• Keep range vents unobstructed.

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

• Use only utensils approved for oven use. Follow utensil manufacturer's instructions, especially when using glass or plastic utensils.

• 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.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line burner pans, oven bottom, or any other part of the range. Use aluminum foil only as recommended in this manual.

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

• Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located.

When using the cooktop

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

• 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.

• Neverleavesurfaceburnersunattended athighheatsettings.Aboilovercould

overthesurfaceburners.

When using the

oven

• 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

• Grease is flammable.

Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

• 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 multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

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.

Push in control knob and turn counterclockwise 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 cook setting. The control knob has 6 cook settings.

However, you can set the control knob anywhere between HI and OFF.

NOTE: All the electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.

Surface burner markers

The solid 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 curling.

• Make eggs tough and crisp at the edges.

• Toughen liver, fish, and seafood.

• Scorch delicate sauces and custards.

• Cause a boilover.

Push in and turn counterclockwise

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.

SETTING

LITE

RECOMMENDED USE

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

HI

(High)

• To start foods cooking.

• To bring liquids to a boil.

4-5

(Medium

High)

• To hold a rapid boil.

• To fry chicken or pancakes.

• For gravy, pudding, and icing.

• To cook large amounts of vegetables.

• To keep food cooking.

• To poach and stew.

2-3

(Medium

Low)

LOW

(Simmer)

• To keep food warm until ready to serve.

• To melt.

• To simmer.

NOTE: Do not cook with the control in the

LITE position.

In case of a prolonged failure power

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.

Fire Hazard

Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

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

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

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

• NOTE: For best results and greater fuel

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware in good condition.

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

• Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) 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, heatresistant 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 tong 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.

• 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 high. 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

centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD

Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, angel food cakes

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

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies

RACK POSITION

1st or 2nd rack guide from bottom

2nd rack guide from bottom

2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom

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

Personal Injury Hazard

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

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

Do not place items on the open oven door.

Be careful when installing and removing 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.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see "Broiling rack position chart" on page 17.


Extra oven rack position

(roasting rack)

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

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.

For best air circulation

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 11/2-2inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (3 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

• 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 available in the housewares section of many department stores.

• For best broiling results, preheat at "HI °'' for 5 minutes. Do not preheat with broiler pan in place.

• Broiling rack position determines how

the burner cooks your food. The lower the

position, the more broiler grid area cov-

ered. See "Broiling rack position chart" at right for more information.

• To sear meat, place broiler pan at one of

the higher rack positions so that meat is

very near the flame.

• 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.

• 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

Place food about 3" or more from the broil burner.

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.

Failure to follow the above could result in fire, burns, or other personal injury.

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:

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

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

• 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.

•

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

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

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

• Bake cakes, pies, or cookies when oven is warm. Best time to bake is right after a meal has been cooked in 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 broiling, roasting, or cooking items such as casseroles.

• Keep burner pans clean for best heat reflection.

Using the electronic MEALTIMER

TM

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. - they will not rise properly.

This section discusses two methods for starting baking/roasting now and stopping automatically later, and three methods for starting and stopping baking/roasting automatically.

Read this section carefully to choose which method(s) is best for you.

Before using the electronic MEALTIMER control, make sure the clock is set to the

correct time of day. (See "Setting the

clock" on page 12.)

To start baking/roasting and stop automatically now

Food Spoilage Hazard

Do not let most UNFROZEN food stand for more than two hours before cooking starts.

Do not allow food to remain in oven for more than two hours after the end of cooking cycle.

Failure to follow the above could result in sickness.

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.

27

The oven vent

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

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

Burn Hazard

When the oven is ON, pans and pan handles left near the oven vent could become very hot. Use pot holders to move pans.

Failure to do so could result in burns.

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 floor brackets. Use care when handling the drawer.

Removing the storage drawer:

1. Empty drawer before removing. Pull

drawer straight out to the first stop. Lift front and pull out to the second stop.

2. Lift back slightly and slide drawer all the

way out.

Replacing the storage drawer:

1. Fit ends of drawer slide rails into the drawer guides on both sides of opening.

2. Lift drawer front and push in until metal stops on drawer slide rails clear white stops on drawer guides. Lift drawer front again to clear second stop and slide drawer closed.

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 brackets properly secured.

Personal Injury Hazard

To reduce risk of range tipping over, secure range with properly installed anti-tip brackets supplied with range.

If range is moved for cleaning or service, check that anti-tip brackets are engaged before using range.

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

To verify the anti-tip brackets are

engaged:

• Grasp rear of range and carefully try to tilt forward. If anti-tip brackets are attached to floor with screws and rear leveling legs are positioned under brackets (one for each rear leveling leg), range should not tilt forward.

OR

•

Remove the storage drawer.

(See page 28.)

• Make sure the rear leveling legs are positioned under brackets.

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

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.

Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Self-

Cleaning cycle. However, you can adjust the cycle time to the amount of soil in your oven.

You can set the cycle anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See "Setting the controls" on page 31 .)

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,

E

START

Before you start

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.

Time In Hours

3 STOP

• Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven.

NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan and 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.

• 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 39.) 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 during the cycle.

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-

Cleaning cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.

Failure to follow the above could result in burns or hazardous fumes.

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

• Do not use the oven light during the

Self-Cleaning cycle. Use during the

Self-Cleaning cycle will shorten the life of the bulb.

Setting the controls

1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. (See "Setting the clock" on page 12.)

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

.m

3. Set the cleaning cycle.

To start cleaning immediately:

Large display will go back to showing the current time of day. DELAY and CLEAN will stay on. When the start time is reached,

DELAY will go off, TIMED, HEAT, CLEAN, and CLEAN TIME will light up and the oven will start to clean.

4. After the Self-Cleaning cycle is started,

LOCKED lights up on the display when the oven temperature goes above normal baking/roasting temperatures.

The Lock

Lever must not be moved and the door cannot be opened when LOCKED is on.

5. After the Self-Cleaning cycle is com- pleted, the time of day will show on the display.

6.

When the oven reaches normal baking/

roasting temperatures,

LOCKED goes off and "End" and CLEAN TIME come on.

Move the Lock Lever back to the left. DO

NOT FORCE IT. Wait until it moves easily.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

1. Push the Off/Cancel pad.

2. When LOCKED goes off, move the Lock

Lever back to the left. DO NOT FORCE

IT. Wait until it moves easily.

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.

• 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, the

cycle may not have been set long enough

or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle

longer the next time and hand-clean areas

noted on page 30.

Your range is designed for easy care.

You can do most cleaning with items found around your home. Cleaning your range whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to keep it looking and operating like new.

Explosion Hazard

Keep appliance area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Do not use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers.

Make sure all controls are OFF and the range is cool before cleaning.

When using cleaners or aerosols on exterior surfaces, always follow package directions. Excess residue from cleaners or aerosols could ignite.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Failure to follow these guidelines could result in explosion, fire, electrical shock, or burns.

Surface burner grates

1. Make sure all surface burners are off and the surrounding parts are cool.

2. Lift off the surface burner grates.

3. Wash the grates with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Use a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad for cooked-on foods. Rinse and dry well.

4. Replace burner grates.

35

Surface burners and cooktop

The cooktop and burner box areas are specially designed to make cleaning easier.

Because the four burners are sealed,

cleanups are easy and convenient.

To clean the cooktop, wipe with a damp sponge and dry.

NOTE: Do not remove the cooktop. Doing so could result in product damage.

Cleaning areas the contoured well

The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner.

If spills occur in contoured well section:

1. Blot up spill with a paper towel.

2. Wipe with a clean, damp sponge.

3. Dry.

NOTE: When cleaning the cooktop area or around the burner base, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. If a cleaning utensil should catch it, the ignitor could be damaged or broken. If the ignitor is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light.

When cleaning the cooktop, leave the burner cap in place to protect the ignitor from possible damage.

Cleaning the surface burners

• The burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned. Always clean burner caps after a spillover. Keeping the burner caps clean prevents improper ignition and an uneven flame.

• For proper

Occasionally check the burner flames for proper size and shape as shown. A good flame is blue in color. If flames are uneven, you may need to clean the burners.

To clean burners:

1. Pull the burner cap straight up from the burner base.

2. Remove the trim ring (if equipped) and burner pan.

3. Clean burner cap, trim ring, and burner pan with warm, soapy water and a sponge. You can also clean with a nonabrasive scrubbing pad or cleanser.

Do not clean burner cap, trim ring, or burner pan in dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.

4. If the gas tube opening or the orifice, located inside the opening, has become soiled or clogged, use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to clean the area.

5. If ports are clogged, clean with a straight pin. Do not enlarge or distort

port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If

adjustment is needed, call a qualified technician for service.

6. After cleaning the gas tube opening and ports, replace the burner pan, trim ring (if equipped), and burner cap. (Burner pan and trim ring must be replaced over burner base before replacing burner cap.

Do not operate burners without burner pan and trim ring in place.) To replace burner cap, make sure cap is properly aligned and leveled. Find the recessed locating tabs on the burner cap (see illustration) and place cap over the white ignitor in the burner base.

7. Turn on the burner to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after

cleaning, contact an authorized

Whirlpool service technician. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

The oven light will come on when you open the oven door. To turn on the light when the oven door is closed, press the Oven

Light Switch on the backguard.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure oven and light bulb are cool and power to the range has been turned off before replacing the light bulb.

The bulb cover must be in place when using the oven. The cover protects the bulb from breaking, and from high oven temperatures.

Because the bulb cover is made of glass, be careful not to drop it.

Failure to follow the above could result in electrical shock, burns, or injury from broken glass.

To replace the oven light:

1. Unplug appliance or disconnect at the main power supply.

2. Remove the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven by pushing the wire holder to the side and pulling out bulb cover.

3. Remove the light bulb from its socket.

Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4. Replace the bulb cover and snap the wire holder into place. Plug in appliance or reconnect at the main power supply.

NOTE: The oven light should not be used during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Use during the Self-Cleaning cycle will shorten the life of the bulb.
