With the Whirlpool GY396LXP slide-in electric range you can quickly give your kitchen a whole new look. One of the best values in its class, the GY396LXP has been around awhile and has an excellent track record. It also offers all the features you would expect on a high-quality slide-in range.

Stovetop cooking on this model is done atop four glass-ceramic elements imbedded in glass. Far easier to keep clean than the smoothtops of days gone by, this model doesn't require a special cleaner and can be wiped clean with a soft cloth. For this reason alone, smoothtops such as this one have edged ahead in popularity over coil element models.

Of the four elements on this range, two measure 6 inches, one measures 7 inches and one measures 9 inches. None of the elements offer a dual setting, which is a feature we recommend you consider on an electric range; a dual element would allow you to adjust the heat should you wish to better match it to pan size. On the other hand, if the combination of included elements on this model meets your needs, you may never miss this setting.

The lower oven boasts a large 4.1 cubic feet of capacity, a delay bake and a self-clean cycle. Equipped with Whirlpool's Accubake system, temperature is constantly monitored to ensure best baking results. The custom broil setting allows you to set the broiling temperature to your liking, instead of offering just one preset broil temperature. Across the bottom of this model, you'll find a full-width storage drawer that's a perfect place to keep all your large kitchen utensils.

Available in the full spectrum of today's popular appliance colors, you'll find this model at your local dealer in a choice white, black, stainless steel or biscuit. The Whirlpool GY396LXP slide-in electric range makes an excellent choice for those looking for value and reliability in their range.
