To obtain the best oooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This section gives

you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Control knobs

must be pushed in before

turning them to

a setting. They can be

set

anywhere between

and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows

which surface unit ls turned on by that knob.

Surface heating indicator light

The SURFACE HEATING Indicator Light on the

control panel will glow when

a surface unit is

turned on.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to

OFF

~ and all indicator lights are

OFF

when you

are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could

start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.

Until you get used to

the ssttlngs, uss the

followlng

as a guide.

For best results, start

cooking at the high settings; then turn the control

knob down to continue cooking.

SET-llNG 1 RECOMMENDED

USE

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-hlgh

To hold

a rapid

boil.

To fry chicken or pancakes.

Medlum

For gravy, pudding and icing.

To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low

To keep food cooking after

starting it on a higher setting.

To keep food warm until ready

to serve.

Cookware tips

There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is

best for all people. Knowing something about pan

materials and construction will help you select the

right cooking utensils for your needs.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good

contact with the surface units. To check the

flatness of a utensil:

-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan

by placing a ruler across ft.

-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should

be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.

NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with flat

bottoms suitable for use on your oooktop are

now available in most houseware stores or

departments.

The pan should have straight sides and a tight-

fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)

pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that

a very heavy pan will be even heavier when

filled with food.

The pan material (metal or glass) affects how

fast heat transfers from the surface unit through

the pan material and how evenly heat spreads

over the pan bottom.

Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached to

the pan.

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has

boiled dry. on a hot surface unit. ft can overheat

and may damage the utensil or surface unit.

Do not use canners, woks and specialty utensils

with rounded, warped, ridged or dented

bottoms. These could cause severe overheating

which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

Product Damage Hazard

surface unit stays red for

bng time,

the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is

too small for the surface unit. Prolonged

usage of inoorrect utensils for long periods

of time can result in damage to the surface

unit. ax&top, wiring and surrounding areas.

To prevent damage, use correct utensils,

start cooking on HI and turn control down to

continue cooking.

Home canning information

protect

your range:

Use flat-bottomed canners for best results. Do

not use canners with dented or ridged (porce-

lain enamel-ware) bottoms. They do

not

make

good contact with the surface unit and cause

severe overheating which damages the

cooktop.

For best results, use the largest surface unit.

Also, use a canner which can be centered over

the surface unit. Large diameter canners. if not

properly centered, trap heat and can cause

damage to the cooktop.

Do not place canner on two surface units at the

same time. Excessive heat buildup will damage

the cooktop.

Start with hot water. Th’is reduces the time the

control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to

lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat

reflection.

Optlonal canning kt

The large diameter of most water-bath or

pressure canners combined with high heat

settings for bng periods ol time can shorten the

life of regular surface units and cause damage to

the cooktop.

If you plan to use the a&top for canning, we

recommend the installation of a Canning Kii

Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your

Whirlpool dealer or authorized WhirlpoolSY

service company.

To prolong the life of the elements:

-Prepare small batches at

time.

-Do not use elements for canning all day.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack the rack

should be placed so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1l/z to

2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan

and the oven walls and other pans.

For proper oooklng,

follow these guldellnee

for

speclflc foods:

Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen

pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on

lowest level.

Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads

and

meats-place rack on second or third level from

bottom.

Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-

place rack on second or third level from bottom.

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on

bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when

broiling, see a reliable cookbook.

Personal Injury Hazard

Always positiin oven rack(s) in desired

location before turning oven on. Be sure

the rack(s) is level.

tf rack(s) must be moved while oven is

hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

may result in personal injury.

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven

for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Place the pans so that one is not directly over

the other.

Allow 1X-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around

each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at one

time.

Use the following as a guide to determine where

to place the pans.

One pan

Place in the center of the oven rack.

Two pans

Place in opposite comers of the oven rack

Three or four pans

Place in opposite comers on each oven rack.

Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

NOTE: “Oven peeking’ may cause heat bss,

longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or

roasting results. Use a reliable kitchen timer to

keep track of the cooking time.

Using aluminum foil for

baking

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies or

casseroles.

Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack

with the food. The foil should have the edges

turned up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all

around than the dish holding the food.

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.

tt will reduce air circulation and cause poor

cooking results.

Do not line oven bottom with foil or other liners.

Poor baking will resuft.
