To obtain the best cooking 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

Push in control knobs before turning

them to a setting. You can set them any-

where between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker

shows which surface unit is 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 acciden-

1 tally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use

the following as a guide. For best results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn

the control knob down to continue cooking.

-~-- .--_-__-

_ SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

HI l To start foods cooking.

l To bring liquids to a boil.

_ -..

Medium-high l To hold a rapid boil.

l To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

Medium l For gravy, pudding and

(opposite OFF) icing.

l To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low l To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

LO l To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

Cookware tips

l Select a pan that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

l NOTE: For best results and greater

energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed

utensils that make good contact with the

surface units. Utensils with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware) or dented bottoms could

cause severe overheating, which damages

the utensil and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat

bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop

are now available in most stores that sell

housewares.

l The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

l 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.

Choose pans that provide the best cooking

results.

l Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

Product Damage Hazard

. If a surface unit stays red for a long

time, the bottom of the pan is not flat

enough or is too small for the surface

unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect

utensils could result in damage to the

surface unit, cooktop, wiring and

surrounding areas. To prevent dam-

age, use correct utensils, start cooking

on HI and turn control down to con-

tinue cooking.

l Do not leave an empty utensil, or one

which has boiled dry, on a hot surface

unit. The utensil could overheat and

could damage the utensil or surface

unit.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

l Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best

results.

l Use the largest surface unit for best

results. Also, use a canner/pan which can

be centered over the surface unit and

which does not extend more than one inch

outside surface unit area. Large diameter

canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap

heat and can cause damage to the

cooktop.

l Do not place canner on two surface units

at the same time. Too much heat will build

up and will damage the cooktop.

l Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on high. Reduce

heat setting to lowest position needed to

keep water boiling.

l Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat

reflection.

l To prolong the life of the elements:

- Prepare small batches at a time.

- Do not use elements for canning all

day.

Optional canning kit

The large diameter of most water-bath or

pressure canners combined with high heat

settings for long periods of time can shorten

the life of regular surface units and cause

damage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,

we recommend the installation of a Canning

Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from

your Whirlpool dealer or authorized

WhirlpoolSM service company.

Positioning racks and pans

the rack so the top of the food will be When baking on two racks, arrange racks

centered in the oven.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement

chart” on page 16.

Personal Injury Hazard

*Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location before turning oven

on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

l If rack(s) must be moved while oven

is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could 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. This results in better baking.

l Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

l For best results, allow 1% to 2 inches

(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and

between pans and oven walls. There must

be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

l 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 corners of the oven rack.

Three or four pans

Place in opposite corners on each oven

rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over

another

Using aluminum foil for baking

Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from

pies or casseroles.

l Place the foil on the oven rack below the

rack with the food. Turn up foil edges and

make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm)

larger all around than the dish holding the

food.

l Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

l Do not line oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking

will result.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements.

Failure to follow this precaution could

result in electrical shock or fire hazard

and damage to the elements.
