Whirlpool WFE320M0ES Use & Care Manual

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HIGH and 
LOW. Push in and turn to setting.

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 move than ½" (13 mm) over the coil 
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess 
heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.

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.

Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven.

NOTE: The oven will automatically turn off after 60 minutes.

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.

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.

See the “Self-Cleaning Cycle” section.
