INSTRUCTIONS
START TIME
(on some models)
Delayed start
The Start Time keypad is used to enter the starting time for an oven function with a delayed
start. Start Time should not be used for foods such as breads and cakes because they may
not bake properly.
To set a Timed Cook or a Delayed Timed Cook, see “Cook Time” section.
COOK TIME
(on some models)
Timed cooking
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set
length of time, and/or shut off automatically.
To set a Timed Cook or a Delayed Timed Cook, see “Cook Time” section.

COOKTOP USE
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and
LOW. Push in and turn to setting.
Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cooktop. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) over the coil
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess
heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.
■
Starting in June 2018 Whirlpool is equipping this product
with new temperature-limiting coils pursuant to the updated
standards in UL858. These new coils may vary cooking times
compared to your old cooktop, e.g., a slightly longer time to
boil large volumes of water.
Ceramic Glass (on some models)
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when
an element is on. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle
on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly
cycle off and back on again even while in High to keep the
cooktop from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light colored ceramic glass to appear
to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass
cools, it will return to its original color.
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
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
cause pitting and permanent marks.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
REMEMBER:
When range is in use, the entire cooktop area
may become hot.
