KEY USAGE TIPS

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology is a first-of-its-kind cleaning solution designed to minimize the time, temperature, and odors that ordinarily come with traditional self-cleaning methods. With AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology, an exclusive coating on the interior of the oven, is activated with heat and water to release baked-on soil. To use AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology, simply wipe out loose debris, pour water into the oven bottom, and run the AquaLift® Self-Cleaning cycle. When the cycle finishes in under 1 hour at a lower temperature than in traditional self-cleaning methods, just wipe out the remaining water and loose debris. See the “Clean Cycle” section for more detailed instructions. For additional information, frequently asked questions, and videos on using AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology, visit our website at http://whirlpoolcorp.com/aqualift.

Surface Temperatures

When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.

Baking Drawer When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in the drawer.

Oven Vent The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning

To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.

  • For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.
  • Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.

Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.

2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of affresh® Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas.

  • Rub affresh® Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.
  • Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3

3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

  • Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.

The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order and includes the following:

  • Cooktop Scraper
  • affresh® Cooktop Cleaner
  • Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads

Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking surface cooler than with a traditional element.

Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.

The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without turning off the power.

Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.

Pan size, material (see the “Cookware” section), and positioning are very important to achieve maximum wattage.

The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the element.

If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate.

Cooktop Controls

The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods, such as chocolate or butter, the surface cooking area can be set to the Melt function for minimal surface cooking area operation.

For maximum surface cooking area operation, all cooktop touchactivated electronic controls can be set to the Performance Boost function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Select the desired surface cooking area, and then press “Boost” on the heat level slider to immediately reach the highest setting. NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will automatically adjust to 208V operation.

To Turn On the Cooktop:

  1. Press POWER. The indicator light above the Power keypad and a dash (“-”) in each surface cooking area will light to indicate that each surface cooking area is ready to be activated. Inactivity for 60 seconds after the main power has been turned on will automatically turn off the power to the cooktop. If a cooking function or the power slider is touched without first selecting a surface cooking area, all dashes (1 for each zone) will flash and an invalid tone will sound 4 times.

To Turn On a Surface Cooking Area:

  1. Touch directly on the display area for the surface cooking area you want to use. See D, E, I, and J of previous illustration. The current power level and indicator light will flash for 10 seconds and then remain ON. Touching any other feature or the power slider stops the flashing, and then information for the keypad that was touched will be displayed. When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for 30 seconds, the surface cooking area will automatically turn off and display only the middle dash without the indicator light.
  2. Select a heat setting from “1” through “9” by touching/sliding on the power slider. The heat setting will appear in the surface cooking area display. The power slider consists of 9 positions plus a “Boost” position. When the user slides to “0,” “0” will be displayed. The surface cooking area will not turn on but remains active/selected. When a surface cooking area is left at the “0” power level for 30 seconds, the zone will automatically turn off and display only the middle dash without the indicator light.

IMPORTANT: The heat setting for an active cooking area may be adjusted by hand or cooking utensil above the heat level slider even if there is no contact with the cooktop glass. A beep will sound only if the slider moves to “0” or “Boost” or the cooking area is turned off.

Bridge

The Bridge function can be activated when surface cooking areas are ON or OFF. The Bridge function allows you to use 2 cooking zones as an extra-large cooking zone.

To Turn On the Bridge:

  1. Touch BRIDGE. The heat setting levels for the 2 left surface cooking areas will default to “0” and can be set from a minimum of “1” to a maximum of “9.” If the cooktop timer was active, it will turn off.
  2. Slide a finger on the heat level slider to change the power level up or down. The selected heat level will show in the heat level display for each surface cooking area using the bridge.

To Turn Off the Bridge: Touch BRIDGE. The surface cooking areas will resume operation as 2 separate areas.

Pan Detection

If the system cannot recognize the pan, or if the pan has been removed from the surface cooking area, the “replace pan” animation appears in the cooking area display as a reminder. See the following illustration.

If the pan is not placed within 30 seconds, the element(s) will switch off.

If the cooktop Timer is running when a pan is removed from the selected element, the countdown will continue until the element switches OFF.

Control Lock

The Control Lock avoids unintended use of the surface cooking areas. If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is OFF, the cooktop is locked out and the surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch controls.

If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is ON, all keypads are locked out except for the Power and Off keypads.

To Lock Cooktop:

Touch and hold the Control Lock keypad for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, a tone will sound and the indicator light above the Control Lock keypad will light, indicating that the cooktop controls are in the lockout position.

If the cooktop is in use when Control Lock is activated, cooking will proceed as normal and any cooktop timers that have been set will continue their countdown.

To Unlock Cooktop: Touch and hold the Control Lock keypad for 3 seconds.

Performance Boost Function

This function allows you to increase the heat setting level above the maximum heat setting “9” for 10 minutes or less.

NOTE: Performance Boost function is available on only 1 surface cooking area at a time within a zone. See the following illustration for zones.

If you attempt to use Performance Boost on more than 1 surface cooking area in the same zone, “P” will briefly flash in the display, and then the first surface cooking area selected for Performance Boost will automatically be set back to the highest available power level. The last surface cooking area selected will be set to Performance Boost.

Use the cooktop timer to set times from 1 to 90 minutes. The cooktop timer is independent of any other control settings. The timer can be associated with only 1 surface element at a time which is indicated by blinking LEDs. The timer will not shut the surface element off at the end of the countdown.

To Use:

  1. Touch TIMER “+” or “-” keypad. “01” appears in the cooktop timer display.
  2. Touch TIMER “+” keypad to increase the time in 1-minute increments. OR Touch TIMER “-” keypad to decrease the time in 1-minute increments.
  3. The cooktop timer will start to count down after a few seconds. To change the time, touch TIMER “+” or “-” keypad.
  4. When the countdown is finished, “00” flashes and a tone will sound.

Ceramic Glass

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for additional information

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each use to remove all soils.

  • Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
  • To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
  • For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
  • To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
  • To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
  • To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
  • Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area. Minimum pan size is also noted on the cooktop with the inner ring, if applicable.

  • Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
  • Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

  • To determine which pan to use on which induction element, measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not include the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement to help determine which induction element would best fit your pan. Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are usually for the top opening dimension. The flat bottom may be smaller.
  • Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: This range has induction cooktop elements. Pan size, material, and positioning are very important to achieve the best results. See “Induction Cooking” in the “Cooktop” section before using the cooktop. Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking

Ferromagnetic Materials Include:

  • Enameled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-Ferromagnetic Materials Include: These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.

  • Stainless steel
  • Glass
  • Ceramic
  • Copper or aluminum pans

To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan, and then see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction cooking.

In addition, many manufacturers are now placing an “induction compatible” symbol on the bottom of their cookware or they will note compatibility on their packaging. See the following symbol.

The number on the surface cooking area heat-setting display will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, the pan is not made of the right material, or it is not the right size. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking area. If you take longer than 30 seconds to place the correct pan on the surface cooking area, the surface cooking area will turn off. If there is no activity for 90 seconds, the cooktop will turn off.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size of the surface cooking area.

NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the base. Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on the induction cooktop. See the “Cookware” section to check if the canner will work on the induction cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

  • Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
  • Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
  • On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
  • For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

OVEN

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.

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.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

  • Position racks before turning on the oven.
  • Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
  • Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as guides.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following below:

1 Large roasts or poultry

2 Roasted meats

3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen foods

6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish

7 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21 /2 to 31 /2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling. If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

Baking Layer Cakes - For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3, and a roll-out rack in rack position 5. 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 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3, and a roll-out rack in rack position 4.

Roll-Out Rack

The roll-out rack allows easy access to position and remove food in the oven. It is not recommended to use the roll-out rack in the top rack, position 7, or the bottom rack, position 1.

Open Position

Closed and Engaged Position

To Insert Roll-Out Rack

1. Angle the front of the rack assembly up, and then insert the rack frame into the “V” cutout in the rack guides of the oven cavity.

2. Keep rack assembly lifted up at an angle, and then push in to bypass the lower “V” cutout.

3. Lower the front of the rack assembly, and then gently slide rack assembly into oven, bypassing the “V” cutouts. Push the rack assembly into the oven until it stops at the ladder in the back of the oven.

4. Reach through the rack to hold the sliding rack and the front crossbar. Lift the front of the rack assembly, and then push the rack assembly to the back of the oven. Lower the front of the rack assembly so the ladder hook engages with the ladder on both sides of the oven.

To Remove Roll-Out Rack

  1. Push the sliding rack in completely so that it is in the closed and engaged position.
  2. Reach through the rack to hold the sliding rack and the front crossbar. Lift the front of the rack assembly to disengage the ladder hook from the ladders at the rear of the oven, and then pull the rack assembly forward.
  3. Using 2 hands, gently pull the sliding rack and the rack frame at the same time to the “V” cutout. Angle the rack so that the front is higher than the back, and then gently pull rack past “V” cutout and then out of the oven

To avoid damage to the sliding rack, do not place more than 25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack. Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide. See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the 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.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until turned off. When the Sabbath mode is set, only the Bake cycle will operate. All other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled. No tones will sound and the displays will not indicate temperature changes. When the oven door is opened or closed, the oven light will not turn on or off and the heating elements will not turn on or off immediately.

To Enable Sabbath Mode Capability (One Time Only):

  1. Press CLOCK/TOOLS until “SABBATH” is displayed. “OFF. Press (1) for On” will scroll in the display.
  2. Press the “1” keypad. “ON. Press (1) for Off” will scroll in the display. Sabbath mode can be activated for baking.
  3. Press START or CANCEL UPPER to exit and display the time of day. NOTE: To disable the Sabbath mode, repeat steps 1 through 3 to change the status from “SABBATH ON” to “SABBATH OFF.”

  2. Press START.

To Deactivate Sabbath Mode: Press CLOCK/TOOLS, and then press “7” to return to regular baking, or press CANCEL for the desired oven to turn off the range. NOTE: No tones will sound while deactivating Sabbath mode.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Steam Bake

The Steam Bake function works in conjunction with the steam rack to provide additional moisture during baking. The steam rack contains a water reservoir which heats up and releases steam into the oven cavity during the Steam Bake cycle. There are 3 preprogrammed food options to choose from: Breads, Desserts, and Fish as well as a Refresh/Reheat option.

For best performance, place the steam rack in the lowest available rack position in the cavity and pour 11 /2 cups (350 mL) of water into the reservoir. Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the reservoir.

After the Steam Bake cycle is complete, some water may remain in the reservoir. This is normal. Wait for the oven to cool and discard the water.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 2 minutes before putting food in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

  • For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. See the “Accessories” section.

Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. When using Manual Convect modes, reduce the time and temperature when setting the oven. Use the following chart as a guide.

Convection Mode

  • Convection Bake: 25°F (15°C) lower temperature, possible shortened cooking time
  • Convection Roast: Cooking time shortened by up to 30%
  • Convection Broil: Shortened cooking time

Convect Options

  • Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes
  • Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts
  • Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or poultry

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise.

To Proof: Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door. NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C), “Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 120°F (49°C).

  1. Press PROOF.
  2. Press START. Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
  3. Press CANCEL UPPER when finished proofing.

Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.

NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below 120°F (49°C).

Operational cooktop sounds: The following are some normal sounds with the explanations. These sounds are normal operational noises.

Low humming

  • This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy that is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware - This sound will lessen or go away when the power is turned down.

Crackling

  • Cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers - The sound may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Fan noise

  • The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably - The cooktop is fitted with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop has been switched off if the temperature it detects is too high.
