Languages - Scrolling Display Text
Language options are English, Spanish, and French.
Oven Temperature Offset Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
Clean Cycle
AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display, and the Clean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity, and wipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easily removed soils.
2. Pour 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press AQUALIFT SELF CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cooldown. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press the Cancel keypad at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 2 cups (16 oz [500 mL]) of water will remain in the oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom to assist with the cleaning.
7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cycles may be run to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, may cause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.
NOTES:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. For additional information, you can visit www.whirlpool.com.
Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
Cleaning Method:
NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cooktop cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with onetime or limited use.
Cleaning Method:
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because the paint surface may stain.
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.
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.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order including the following:
COOKTOP CONTROLS
To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaner.
To avoid damage, do not soak knobs.
When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the OFF position.
On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Cleaning Method:
CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels.
Cleaning Method:
OVEN RACKS
Cleaning Method:
WARMING DRAWER
Check that the warming drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.
Cleaning Method:
OVEN CAVITY
Use AquaLift® Technology regularly to clean oven spills. Do not use oven cleaners.
Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result.
Cleaning Method:
| Problem | Possible Causes and/or Solutions |
| Nothing will operate | Power supply cord is unplugged - Plug into a grounded outlet. ENERGY SAVE is active, and the display is blank - Press any keypad on the control to display the time of day. Household fuse is blown, or a circuit breaker is tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. The control displays an F9 or F9 E0 error code - The electrical outlet in the home may be mis-wired. Contact a qualified electrician to verify the electrical supply |
| Cooktop will not operate | The control knob is not set correctly - Push in knob before turning to a setting. On ceramic glass models, the oven control lockout is set |
| Excessive heat around cookware on cooktop | Cookware is not the proper size - Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Cookware should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) outside the cooking area. |
| Cooktop cooking results not what expected | Control knob set to incorrect heat level Range is not level |
| Cooktop element cycles on and off on High setting | Element cycling due to a temperature limiter - This is normal operation. The element may cycle on and off to keep the cooktop from overheating. |
| Oven will not operate | Delay Start is set Control is locked - Press and hold START for 3 seconds to unlock. The range is in Demo mode - Demo mode will deactivate all oven elements. Electronic oven control set incorrectly. |
| Oven temperature too high or too low | Oven temperature needs adjustment. |
| Oven indicator lights flash | Power to range is turned on or restored. |
| Display shows messages | Power failure (display shows flashing time) - Clear the display. On some models, reset the clock Error code (display shows letter followed by number) - Depending on your model, press CANCEL to clear the display. |
| Clean cycle did not work on all spills | Several cooking cycles between Clean cycles or spills on oven walls and doors - Run additional Clean cycles. Use the AquaLift® Technology Cleaning Kit. affresh® Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner, or affresh® Cooktop Cleaner can be used for stubborn soils. |
| Mineral deposits are left on the oven bottom after the Clean cycle | Tap water was used in the Clean cycle - Use distilled or filtered water in the Clean cycle. To remove deposits, use a cloth soaked with vinegar. Then use a cloth dampened with water to thoroughly remove any vinegar residue. Range is not level - Mineral deposits will collect on dry areas of the oven bottom during the Clean cycle. Level the range. To remove deposits, use a cloth soaked with vinegar. Then use a cloth dampened with water to thoroughly remove any vinegar residue. |
| Oven cooking results not what expected | Range is not level - Level the range. The set temperature was incorrect - Double-check the recipe in a reliable cookbook. Oven temperature needs adjustment. Oven was not preheated. Racks were positioned improperly . Not enough air circulation around bakeware. Darker browning of food caused by dull or dark bakeware - Lower oven temperature 25°F (15°C) or move rack to a higher position in the oven. Lighter browning of food caused by shiny or light colored bakeware - Move rack to a lower position in the oven. Batter distributed unevenly in pan - Check that batter is level in the pan. Incorrect length of cooking time was used - Adjust cooking time. Oven door was not closed - Be sure that the bakeware does not keep the door from closing. Oven door was opened during cooking - Oven peeking releases oven heat and can result in longer cooking times. Rack is too close to bake burner, making baked items too brown on bottom - Move rack to higher position in the oven. Pie crusts browning too quickly - Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature. |
