Whirlpool 30-Inch Slide-In Electric Range GY398LXP

Date Published: 10/11/06

Beautifully designed, the Whirlpool 30-Inch Slide-In Electric Range GY398LXP will make a sophisticated statement in any kitchen where it is installed. It fits seamlessly into a 30-inch opening between cabinets to provide an integrated look and plenty of functional up-to-the-minute cooking technology. By far, the most outstanding feature of this model is the upgraded self-cleaning convection-fan oven. Like traditional ovens, this model provides two racks for baking and standard heat, but it has a fan to encourage faster, more even baking and browning.

The spacious 4.1-cubic-foot capacity also adds to the appeal of this model. Perfect for the home chef looking to take it up a notch, baking and roasting quality are sure to benefit. When not busy baking and roasting, this range will be in use with day-to-day surface cooking tasks. The four radiant elements are embedded in a wipe-clean glass top and are fairly basic for the price range of this model. The elements consist of two small 6-inch rounds, one 7-inch round, and one 9-inch round. Whirlpool does not offer any dual or bridge elements on this range. Controls consist of knobs for elements and an electronic touch display for the oven, clock, and timer. Especially convenient is the ability of this model to display time and temperature simultaneously.

A safe choice for homes with little ones on the move, this slide-in range has surface indicator lights for the elements and a child-lockout for the oven. A convenient full-width storage drawer is located at the base of the unit. Unlike some comparable models, it does not offer warming capability. An especially well-designed range, the Whirlpool 30-Inch Slide-In Electric Range GY398LXP offers some very desirable features while at the same time lacking a few other popular ones.
