Home Canning; Oven Use; Electronic Oven Controls - Whirlpool WFE745H0FS User Instructions

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking
surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for
long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or
elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
■
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than ½" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area
or element.
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
Control Display
The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss.
Press CANCEL to clear. When oven is not in use, the time of day

Energy Save mode, the display will be blank. Indicator lights
show functions that are in use.

Home Canning

Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements
■
at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to
■
avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■
extension office, or refer to published home canning guides.
Companies that manufacture home canning products can
also offer assistance.

OVEN USE

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.

Electronic Oven Controls

Clock Time of Day
This clock can use a 12- or 24-hour cycle. To adjust, see
"12/24 Hour Clock" in this section.
Check that the oven and Timer are off.
To Change Time of Day:
1. Press SETTINGS once. After 3 seconds, "SET CLOCK-PUSH
START TO CHANGE" will be displayed.
2. Press START to display the current setting.
3. Press "3" for AM or "6" for PM.
4. Press the number keypads to set the time of day.

Oven Temperature Offset Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide
consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any
point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow
to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate
reading due to this cycling.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can
be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be
changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Press SETTINGS until "TEMP OFFSET" is displayed.
2. Press START to display the current setting.
3. Press the "3" keypad to increase the temperature in 5°F
(3°C) increments, or press the "6" keypad to decrease the
temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments. The range is from -30°F
to +30°F (-18°C to 18°C).
4. Press START to save the setting.
5. Press CANCEL to exit.
