Slide-In Gas Range Quick Start Guide

This guide provides essential operating instructions for your Whirlpool Slide-In Gas Range.

Using Your Oven

1. Select oven function.
2. Set the temperature.
3. Press Start.
4. Place food inside the oven once the set temperature is reached. Close the oven door.
5. (Optional) Enter time to cook.
6. The Cancel button can be used to cancel the function during or after cook time.

Note: For more detailed instructions on specific functions, see the online Control Guide.

Using Your Range

WARNING: Fire Hazard. Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan. Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to Ignite.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

The flame should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Note: Visually check that the burner has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn the burner off. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown household fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark igniter still does not operate, call a trained repair specialist.

To Set:

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to Ignite will produce a flame.
2. Turn knob to anywhere between High and Low.

Remember: When the range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power Failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to IGNITE. After the burner lights, turn knob to setting.

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.

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 illustrations as a guide.

Rack positions are numbered 1 through 7 from the bottom of the oven to the top. Position 1 is the lowest rack slot, and position 7 is the highest.

Broiling Hamburger Patties

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 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 5, and a flat rack in rack position 2. If you do not have two flat racks, use a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 6. 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 2, and a Max Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6.

Burner Size

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. Burner positions will vary based on the model of your range.

Burner positions are typically indicated on the cooktop, with smaller burners often located at the back and larger, more powerful burners at the front.

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 the entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not place plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Oven Light

The oven light is a 40 W halogen bulb. Before replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.

To Replace:

1. Disconnect power.
2. Turn the glass bulb cover in the back of the oven counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove bulb from socket.
4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle the bulb. To avoid damage to or decreasing the life of the new bulb, do not touch the bulb with bare fingers.
5. Replace bulb cover by turning clockwise.
6. Reconnect power.

Important: Do not use lamps rated higher than 40 W.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until disabled. For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Sabbath Mode, visit www.star-k.org or contact Whirlpool customer support.
