Whirlpool® 30" Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Freestanding Gas Range

Product Overview

Surface Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper position, the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.

To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with the indentations in the cooktop.

Control Display

The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press the Cancel keypad to clear. When the oven is not in use, the time of day is displayed.

Fahrenheit and Celsius

The temperature is preset at Fahrenheit, but it can be changed to Celsius.

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.

Frozen Bake™

Frozen Bake™ Technology automatically adjusts the manufacturer’s bake time by combining preheating and baking, to deliver great packaged frozen food results without the wait. There are six programmed food options to choose from: Pizza, Lasagna, Nuggets, Fries, Pie, and Meal. The Frozen Bake™ cycles have been customized to work only with these foods. When using Frozen Bake™ Technology, it is important that you follow all manufacturer’s instructions including venting, covering, stirring or placing on a baking sheet to ensure a good result. When cooking frozen meals, only cook items that provide instructions for cooking in a conventional oven. Place your dish in the center of the rack and select one of the rack positions recommended for Frozen Bake in the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section and bake only one package or pan at a time. Use the temperature and maximum bake time from the package.

A tone will alert you to check the food for doneness before the cook time is complete and again at the end of the cook time. The display will prompt you to add additional cook time if needed.

Broiling

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.

Temperature Management System

The temperature management system electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when cycling on; the broil element will not. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks per the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat and food may be placed in the oven immediately, unless preheat is recommended in the recipe.

Convection Baking and Roasting

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.

AquaLift® Self-Cleaning Technology

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.
