*Select a pan with a flat bottom

that is about the same size as

the surface unit. If pan is smaller

than the surface unit, some of

the heating element will be

exposed and may result in the

8 niting of clothing or potholders.

cooking efficiency.

l Check to be sure lass cook-

ing utensils are sa e for use on

the range. Only certain types

of glass, glass-ceramic, ce-

ramic, earthenware or other

glazed utensils are suitable for

cooktops without breaking due

to the sudden change in

temperature.

eNever leave surface units

unattended at high heat set-

not over other surface units.

This will help reduce the

chance of burns, i niting of

flammable materia s, and

spills due to bumping of the

pan.

When usina the oven

Always position oven rack(s)

in desired location while oven

is cool. If a rack must be re-

moved while oven is hot, do

not let potholder contact hot

heating element in oven.

door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or

replacing food.

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This

section gives you important infotmation for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Push in control knobs before Wrning

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 Indica:tor Light on

the control panel will glow when a surface

unit is turned on.

Burn and Fire H~KI

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 alxiden-

tally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use

the following as a guide.

For b’est results,

start cooking at the high setting; then turn

the control knob down to continLle cooking.

SElTiNG 1 RECOMMENDED USE

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-high

To hoM a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

Medium

For gravy, puclding and

[opposite OFF) icing.

To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low

To keep food cooking

after starting ii on

higher setting.

LO I

To keep food warm until

readv to sews!.

Cookware tips

Select a pan

that is about the same size

as the surface unit.

NOTE: For best results and greater

energy efficiency,

use only flat-bottomed

cookware that makes good contact with

the surface units. Cookware with rounded,

warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain

enamelware) or dented bottoms could

cause severe overheating, which damages

the cookware ancVor surface unit.

You can, however, use the newer

cookware available with slightly indented

bottoms or very small expansion channels.

This cookware is specially designed to

provide the good contact needed for best

cooking results.

Also, woks, canners and teakettles with

flat bottoms suitable for use on your

cooktop are now available in most stores

that sell housewares.

The pan

should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy g;ruge

(thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightrveight.

Handles

should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached

to the pan.

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 resufts.

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.

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 informaation

To protect your range:

Use

flat-bottomed canners/pans for best

results.

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. Largle diameter

canners/pans, if not property centered, trap

heat and can cause damage to the

cooktop.

Do not place canner on two

surface units

at the same time. Too much heat will build

up and will damage the cooktcp.

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.

Keep reflector bowls clean

for best heat

reflection.

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 cook-top for canning,

we recommend the installation of a Canning

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

your Whirlpool dealer or authorized

WhirlpoolSM service company.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one

wrack,place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

NOTE:

For recommended rack placement

when broiling, see “Broiling rack position

chart” on page 14.

FOOD

Frozen pies, large

roasts, turkeys

Angel and bundt

cakes, most quick

Personal injury Hazard

Always position oven rack(s) in desired

location before turning oven on. Be

sure the rack(s) is level.

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 resutt in personal injury.

When baking on

two

racks,

arrange racks

on bottom and third level from bottom.

For best air circulation

The 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.

Place

the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

For best results, allow

1l/z 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).

Use

only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

Use the following as a guide t13determine

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

splliovers

from pies or casseroles:

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.

Do not cover

the entire rack with alumi-

num foil. It will reduce air circulation and

cause poor cooking results.

Do not line oven bottom or entire oven

rack with foil or other liners. Paor baking

will result.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Do not allow foil to touch the heating

elements.

Failure to follow this precautic’n could

result in electrical shock or fin: hazard

and damage to the elements.
