(SR) Cookware Characteristics Aluminum n Heats quickly and evenly. n Suitable for all types of cooking. n Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. n May leave aluminum residues which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking. n Heats slowly and evenly. n Good for browning and frying.
PAGE 9
OVEN USE Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well‑ventilated room. NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed.
PAGE 10
Sabbath Mode The Sabbath mode sets the oven to remain on in a Bake setting until turned off. A Timed Bake can also be set to keep the oven on for only part of the Sabbath. The Oven Control Lockout feature (if present) will be disabled during the Sabbath.
PAGE 11
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. For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Side 1 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 41/2 to 51/2 minutes.
PAGE 12
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks Frozen Bake™ 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.
PAGE 13
Convection Baking and Roasting Cook Time (on some models) (on some models) 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.
PAGE 14
RANGE CARE Clean Cycle 4. Press the Cancel keypad at the end of the cycle. Cancel may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle. 5. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 13/4 cups (14 oz [414 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.
PAGE 15
General Cleaning 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 our website at www.whirlpool.com. In Canada, visit our website at www.whirlpool.ca. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
