To bake, turn the Oven
Selector Knob to BAKE.
To broil, turn the Oven
Selector Knob to
BROIL.
Using the surface unit controls
Surface Unit Control Knobs must be pushed in before turning.
Turn either way to the setting you want.
A design by each knob tells which unit is turned on by that knob.
(For example, [::I shows the right front unit.)
The Signal Light will glow whenever a Surface Unit is on. Be
sure this light is off when you have finished cooking.
The knob may be set anywhere between “HI” and “OFF” As you
use your surface units, you will get used to the settings that match your
pots, pans and favorite foods the best.
As a guide, the setting should cook at about the following heats:
HI - To start most foods cooking. To bring water to a boil.
MED-HI - To hold a rapid boil; to fry pancakes or chicken.
MED - To make gravy, puddings and icings; to cook large quan-
tities of vegetables.
MED-LO - To keep food cooking after starting it at a higher setting.
LO -To keep food warm until ready to serve. You will notice
that you can set the heat higher or lower within the LO
band [ &%I to help keep food at the temperature you
want.
NOTE: Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best results and to pre-
vent damage to the range. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms
(woks. ridged-bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended. See
the “Cooking Guide” for important utensil informatlon.
Using the Oven Controls

Third-Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to the baking
temperature you want. The Oven Signal Light will glow while the oven is
heating. When this light goes off, the oven has heated to the temperature
you set.
Fourth-Place food in the oven. During baking, the elements will
turn on and off to help keep the oven at the temperature you set. The
Oven Signal Light will turn on and off with the elements. The top element
helps heat during baking, but does not turn red.
Fifth-When the baking is done, turn both the Oven Temperature
and Oven Selector Knobs to “OFF”
NOTE: Do not lock the oven door during baking. If you do, you
may not be able to unlock it until the oven has cooled.

Variable Broil Feature:
You might want to broil some foods slower than others. Broiling
can be slowed down by setting a lower temperature on the Oven Temper-
ature Control Knob instead of “BROIL.” Using a lower temperature will
cause the broil element to turn on and off during the broiling so that the
food broils more slowly.
When the Oven Temperature Control Knob is on “BROIL,” the
broil element heats all the time. Set the temperature lower and it heats
some of the time. The lower the temperature setting, the shorter are the
periods of heating.
NOTE: The Oven Selector must be on BROIL and the door
must be partly open for all broiling temperatures.
Resetting the oven temperature control:
Does your new oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven?
The temperatures in older ovens often shift very gradually, getting hotter
or colder without the user really noticing the change. Your new oven is
properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, but when compared
to your old range, the new design may give you different baking results. If
you think that the temperature setting on your range needs to be hotter or
colder, you can adjust the Oven Temperature Control Knob by yourself.
To adjust the setting, first pull the Oven Temperature Control Knob
straight off. On the back, just across from the locking screw, are a row of
notches on the black part of the knob and one tooth on the chrome part.
To set your oven about lO”F(5”C) cooler, loosen the locking screw
about two full turns and move the row of notches one notch closer to
“LO.” To set your oven about lO”F(5”C) warmer, move the row of
notches one notch closer to “HI.” Each notch equals about lO”F(5”C)
Tighten the locking screw and put the knob back on the
control panel.

Setting the clock to the correct time of day
1. Push in the Minute Timer Knob and turn it clockwise to set the hands
to the correct time of day.
2. The Minute Timer hand will turn as you set the clock. When the clock
Clock and Timer Knob is set, let the knob pop out. Then, while it is out, turn the Minute Timer
hand clockwise to “OFF” If you push in on the knob when setting
the Minute Timer, you will change the setting of the clock.
Using the Minute Timer
The small numbers inside the clock face are the minute markings.
Turn the knob in the center of the clock...don’t push it in...to the
number of minutes you want to time. When the time you set is up, a
3 buzzer will sound. Turn the hand to “OFF” to stop the buzzer.
The Minute Timer does not start or stop cooking. It only buzzes
when the time you set is up. It can be used to time almost any cooking
operation. It can even remind you of other things (like when to add the
softener to the washer).
Minute Timer
For the most accurate timing, turn the knob past the time you
want. Then turn it back to the setting.
Using the automatic MEALTIMER* clock
The automatic feature of the MEALTIMER* Clock lets you be away
from home when the oven starts, or when it stops. It will turn on and off
automatically. or just turn off automatically.
Let’s say you have a roast that will take four hours to cook. Dinner
is supposed to be at 6:00, but you have an appointment at 1:30 and you
know you won’t get home until at least 4:O0. When do you have time to
put in the roast?
With the Automatic MEALTIMER* Clock, it’s easy. Just before you
leave for your appointment, put the roast in the oven, set the start time for
2:00 and the stop time for 6:00 (four hours). Set the Oven Selector to
“TIMED” and set the Oven Temperature Control Knob for the tempera-
ture you want. Then leave. The oven will start at 2:00, bake for four hours
at the selected temperature, and shut off at 6:O0.
*Tmk
To start and stop your oven automatically:
1. Put racks where you want 2. Be sure the clock is set to the
them and place food in the right time of day. (The start
oven. and stop time hands will also
show the correct time.)

3. Push in and turn the Start
Time Knob clockwise to the
time you want the oven to
start.
4. Push in and turn the Stop
Time Knob clockwise to the
time you want the oven to
shut off.
5. Turn the Oven Temperature
Control Knob to the temper-
ature you want to use to cook
the food.
6. Set the Oven Selector to
“TIMED.”
When cooking is finished, turn both the Oven Selector and the
Oven Temperature Control Knobs to “OFF“
If you want to stop the oven before it stops automatically, turn
the Temperature and Selector Knobs to “OFF.” Remove food from the
oven You don’t have to do anything with the Stop Time Knob.

Oven rack positions
Your oven has two racks. Always put the racks where you want
them to be before you turn on the oven.
To remove a rack, take hold of it on the front edge and pull it out
.mtil it stops. Then lift up the front edge and pull again. It will slide past the
stops, out of the guides and out of the oven.
To put it back, fit the back corners into the guides at each side of
:he oven and slide it in, keeping the front tilted up until the rack passes
the stops in the rack guides.
For: Place Rack: -

When baking, always leave at least 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of
air space between the sides of a pan and other pans and the oven wall
for air circulation.
For best results, get additional information on placing pans, cookie
;heets and other utensils from the “Cooking Guide.”
Using the oven light
The oven light will come on when the oven door is opened. To turn
3n the light without opening the door, push the oven light switch. Push it
again to turn the light off.
Toreplace the oven light bulb:
The oven light bulb has a glass cover which ISheld on by a wire
9older. This cover must be in place when the oven is beina used.
Turn off the electric power at the main power supply. U
Pull out on the wire holder and move it to one side. This will let you
remove the glass cover.
Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb (designed to stand
up to oven heat) available at most grocery, variety and hardware
stores.
Replace glass cover Snap the wire holder in place.
The oven vent
There is an oven vent under the right rear surface element. When
the oven is on, heated air will escape through it. A vent is needed for air
circulation in the oven during baking. You can cook on this surface unit
while the oven is on. A warm pan of food will stay warm on this unit while
the oven is on. It may be warm enough to melt butter, too.
Do not try to save heat or energy by blocking the vent. Poor
baking can result. Plastic utensils may melt if they are over the vent
while the oven is on.

The optional rotisserie
If you would like a rotisserie with your oven. you can order a kit
(Part No 2618811 from your dealer. Easy installation instructions come
with the kit.
Accessory canning kit (Part No. 242905)
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners com-
bined with high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life
of regular surface units and cause damage to the cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the
installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit from your Whirlpool Dealer or
Tech-Care Service Company.
SEE THE “COOKING GUIDE” FOR IMPORTANT CANNING
INFORMATION.
Using the self-cleaning oven cycle
The Self-Cleaning Oven uses high heat that actually burns away
oven soil. For best results and safety, read this section carefully. Make sure
you understand how everything works before you set your oven to
“CLEAN.”
Things to do before you start:
l Some areas may not be cleaned during the Self-Cleaning cycle:
-The frame around the oven opening
-The door, especially the part around the outside of the oven seal.
Soil on these areas will be more difficult to remove after the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Use hot water and detergent.. or a soapy steel-wool
pad. Rinse well.
l Do not move or bend the fiberglass oven door seal. Do not try to
clean it by hand.
l The high heat during the cleaning cycle will discolor the racks and
take the shine off them if they are left in the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. If you want your oven racks to stay shiny and bright,
take them out before starting the cleaning cycle. If you do clean the
racks during the cleaning cycle, read the “Special Tips” at the end of
this section.
l Don’t leave any pots or pans in the oven during cleaning. They won’t
be able to stand the high heat.
l Wipe up spillovers, boilovers and grease that hasn’t baked onto the
bottom of the oven. This will help reduce smoking during the cleaning
cycle.
l Chrome reflector bowls must not be cleaned in the oven.
l Turn on the vent hood fan or other kitchen vents during the cleaning
cycle. This will help remove smoke, odor and heat that are normal
during the cycle.
l If you have a rotisserie, be sure the motor socket cover is closed.

Setting the controls to the Self-Cleaning cycle:
1. Set the Oven Selector Knob
to “CLEAN.”

3. The clock and dials for start
and stop time should all have the
right time of day.
5. Lock the oven door by moving
the Lock Lever all the way to the
right. When it is all the way over,
the Clean Light will come on. If
the Clean Light doesn’t come on,
the lever isn’t all the way over
and the cleaning cycle won’t
start.
When the clean light comes on,
the oven starts the cleaning cycle.
About 20 minutes later, the Lock
Light will come on. It will stay on
during the cleaning cycle. The
door cannot be unlocked while
the Lock Light is on.

2. Set the Oven Temperature
Control Knob to “CLEAN.”
4. Push in on the Stop Time
Knob and set it ahead as many
hours as you want for the clean-
ing cycle. For a lightly soiled
oven, two hours ahead may be
enough. For heavy soil, three
hours ahead may be about right.
If some soil does not get removed
during the cleaning cycle, see
“Special Tips” later in this
section.
6. The oven will shut off when
the preset stop time is reached.
but the oven door will stay locked
until the oven has cooled. When
the Lock Light turns off, turn the
Oven Selector and Oven Tem-
perature Control Knobs to
“OFF,” Now move the Lock Le-
ver back to the left. This turns off
the Clean Light. Do notjorce the
Lock Lever. If it doesn’t want to
move easily, wait until it does.
With the Lock Lever all the way
to the left, the oven door can be
opened.

7. When the oven has cooled ojf
all the way, wipe out any residue
or ashes from the bottom.
How the Self-Cleaning cycle works:
l When oven controls are set to “CLEAN.” the oven gets much hotter
than it does for cooking. This high heat causes so11on the inside oven
walls to burn off. or break up and mostly disappear. While this is
happening, a special part in the oven vent helps remove smoke. Do
not cover the right-rear surface unit during the cleaning cycle.
l The chart below shows about what happens during a Z-hour Self-
Cleaning cycle. Any time less than that shortens only the cleaning
cycle. not the heating and cooling times.
l Don’t touch the range during the cleaning cycle.. .it will be hot.
l When the cleaning cycle is over, you will find some fine ashes tn the
oven. The amount of ash depends upon the amount of soil there was
in the oven. When the oven is cool, clean up all that is left with a
damp cloth, cleanser. or a soap-filled steel-wool pad.
l During the cleaning cycle. you may hear the sounds of metal heating
and cooling. These are normal sounds, and a lot like those you can
hear when the oven heats for regular cooking.

Special tips:
l If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as it should
be, the time set for cleaning was probably not long enough.
Set the cleaning time longer next time. You can set it for more
than 3 hours, if you want.
l Plan to clean the oven before it gets too heavily soiled. Other-
wise, you may notice more smoke than you would expect
coming from the oven vent. And, the cleaning cycle has to be
longer to clean a very soiled oven.
l There will be normal “heat odors” during the cleaning cycle.
To help get rid of them, keep the kitchen well ventilated.
l To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started:
-Turn the Stop Time Knob to the right time of day.
-Turn the Oven Selector Knob to “OFF.”
-Turn the Oven Temperature Control Knob to “OFF.”
-Unlock and open the oven door when the Lock Lights turns
off.
NOTE: Do not force the Lock Lever. Wait until it moves
easily.
l Do not use foil or other oven liners in your Self-Cleaning
Oven.
l Don’t use commercial oven cleaners in your Self-Cleaning
Oven.
l If racks are left in the oven during a cleaning cycle, they will
lose their shine. discolor and be harder to slide in and out. To
make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack
guides with a soap-filled steel wool pad, rinse well, and wipe
on a thin coating of salad oil.
Cleaning and caring for your range
Your range is designed to be easy to clean. You will usually wipe off
spills and spatters when they happen, but you will sometimes want to
clean under and behind the control knobs and surface units. This section
will tell you how to remove those, and what to use when cleaning.
Pull knob and trim ring Removing and replacing surface unit control knobs:
straight out. Remember 1. Be sure the control knobs are set to “OFF,”
how the spring goes. 2 Pull the black knobs straight off
3 If the control has a chrome trim ring. pull it straiqht off
4. Wash the knobs (and trim rings) in warm, sudsywater.
5. Replace the trim rings first. If the control spring was removed, put
it back exactly as shown on the left...small end first.
6. Hold the black knob so it points to “OFF.” Push it straight back on.
Removing and replacing oven control knobs:
1. Be sure the knobs are set to “OFF.”
2. Pull each knob straight off.
To remove surface
unit, lift and pull
straight out.
3. Wash the knobs in warm, sudsy water.
4. The knobs are not interchangeable. Make sure you put the adjust-
able Oven Temperature Control Knob on the right place, and the
nonadjustable Oven Selector Knob on the other.
12

Removing surface units and reflector bowls:
1. First, be sure the Surface Unit Controls are all “OFF” and that the
surface units are cool.
2. Lift each surface unit about an inch (2.5 cm) at the edge away from the
plug-in (receptacle). Pull the unit straight away from the plug-in. Do
not luash surjace units: they will burn themselves clean during normal
use.
3. Lift out the reflector bowls.
Hold surface unit level
when replacing.
Prop up the top with
support rod.
Replacing reflector bowls and surface units:
1. Be sure the surface unit controls are on “OFF.”
2. Put the reflector bowls back into their places. Make sure you can see
the plug-ins (receptacles) for the surface units through the square
hole in the side of each bowl.
3. Hold the surface unit level with the prongs (terminals) pointing at
the plug-in.
4. With the prongs started in the plug-in, start pushing in on the surface
unit. At the same time, lift a little on the side of the surface unit that’s
by the plug-in.
5. Make sure the surface-ulllt prongs are pushed into the plug-lrl as far
as they will go The surface unit should fit into the reflector bowl
and be level.
Cleaning under the cooktop:
Pull to stop. Lift; pull
again.
To clean the area under the cooktop, lift the front of the cooktop at
the center. Raise the swing-up rod to hold it. (Be sure the tip of the rod is
in the notch in the cooktop ) Use warm soapy water and a sponge or cloth.
Scouring powders or any other abrasive cleaner can scratch the chrome
cooktop.
Be careful not to raise the cooktop so high that it touches the
control console. And don’t drop it. Dropping the cooktop can damage side
panels and surface units.
Removing the storage drawer (use care when handling the drawer):
The drawer below your oven is meant to store pots and pans.
Never keep anything in there that will burn or melt.
You may want to remove the drawer for cleaning under the range
Pull it straight out until it stops. Use care when handling the drawer. Lift
the front and pull some more to get it over the stop. Now slide it out until
it stops again Lift the drawer away from the range until it slips out of the
guides. To put it back, fit the side rails at the back of the drawer into both
guides on the range. Push it closed while lifting the front to get past the
stops.

IF YOU NEED SERVICE OR ASSISTANCE, WE SUGGEST YOU
FOLLOW THESE FOUR STEPS:
1. Before calling for assistance.. _
Performance problems often result from little things you can find
and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
l Is the range plugged into an operating outlet or wired into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See Installation Instructions.)
l Have you checked the main fuse or circuit-breaker box?
If the oven will not operate:
l Is the Oven Selector Knob turned to a setting (BAKE or BROIL, but
not TIMED)?
l Is the Oven Temperature Control Knob turned to a temperature
setting?
If surface units will not operate:
l Have you checked the main fuse or circuit-breaker box?
l Are surface units plugged in all the way?
l Do the control knobs turn?
If surface-unit Control Knob or Knobs will not turn:
l Is the spring put in correctly, as shown on page 12 in the “Cleaning
and Caring for your Range” Section?
l Did you push in before trying to turn?
If the Self-Cleaning Cycle will not operate:
l Are the Oven Selector Knob and the Oven Temperature Control
Knob set to ‘CLEAN?”
l Does the Start Time Knob show the correct time of day?
l Is the Stop Time Knob set ahead to the time you want the cleaning
cycle to stop?
l Is the Lock Lever all the way to the right? (The Clean Light will come
on.)
If cooking results aren’t what you expect:
l Is the range level?
l Are you using pans recommended in the Cooking Guide?
l If baking, have you allowed 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of
the pans for air circulation?
l Does the oven temperature seem too low or too high? See page 5,
“Resetting Your Oven Temperature Control Knob.”
l Have you preheated the oven as the recipe calls for?
l Are the pans the size called for in the recipe?
l Are you following a tested recipe from a reliable source?
l Do the cooking utensils have smooth, flat bottoms?
l Do the cooking utensils fit the surface unit being used?
See the Cooking Guide for more information on cooking prob-
lems and how to solve them.
