The anti-tip bracket
The range will not tip during normal use. HOW-
ever, tipping can occur if excessive force or
weight is applied to the open door without the
anti-tip bracket properly secured.
To verify the anti-tip bracket is engaged:
l
Look to see if the anti-tip bracket is attached
with screws to the wall behind the control panel.
l
Make sure the cable tether on the back of the
range is secured by the two hooks on the
bracket.
l
See Installation Instructions for further details.
Optional door panel pat
If you would like to change the color of your oven
door glass to white or almond, you can order one
of these kits:
l
White (Kit No. 814069)
l
Almond (Kit No. 814070)
from your Whirlpool Dealer. The kits include easy
installation instructions.
Energy saving tips
Although the energy used for cooking is usually a
very small percentage of the total energy used in
the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently.
Here are some tips to help you conserve energy
when using your cooking product.
l
Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and
tight-fitting lids.
l
Match the pan to the surface unit size.
l
Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help
shorten cooking time.
l
Preheat pans only when recommended and for
the shortest time possible.
l
Start food on higher heat settings, then set
surface unit control on low or off to finish
cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when
possible.
l
Use the more efficient surface units instead of
the oven when possible.
l
Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled
pan on the unit.
l
“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer
cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results.
Rely on your timer.
l
Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is
warm. Best time is after a meal has been
cooked in it.
l
Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.
l
Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the
range. When using the oven to cook one food,
try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.
l
Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or
cooking items such as casseroles.
l
Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat
reflection.
