A Note to You

Thank you for buying a Whirlpool@ appliance.

Because your life is getting busier and more complicated, Whirlpool ranges are easy to use,

save time, and help you manage your home better. To ensure that you will enjoy years of

trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and

Care

Guide. It is full of valuable informa-

tion on how to operate and maintain your appliance properly and safely. Please read it

carefully. Also, please complete and mail the Ownership Registration Card provided with

your appliance. This will help us notify you about any new information on your appliance.

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and statements. Please pay special attention to these

symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of each

symbol.

This symbol will help alert you to such

dangers as personal injury, burns, fire,

and electrical shock.

This symbol will help you avoid actions

which could cause product damage

(scratches, dents, etc.) and damage to

your personal property.

Our Consumer Assistance Center number, l-800-253-1 301,

is toll-free, 24 hours a day.

If you ever have a question concerning your appliance’s operation, or if you need service,

first see “If You Need Assistance or Service” on page 40. If you need further help, feel free to

could catch on fire.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

Do not store flammable materi-

als on or near the range. The

When using the cooktop

Make sure the reflector bowls

are in place during cooking.

Cooking without reflector bowls

could subject the wirin and

components undernea h them

to damage.

Do not line reflector bowls with

aluminum foil or other liners.

Improper installation of these

liners could result in a risk of

electric shock or fire.

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 could result in the

igniting of clothing or pot hold-

ers. Correct

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 unit indicator lights

One of the Surface Unit Indicator Lights on

the control panel will glow when a surface

unit is on.

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-

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.

SElTlNG

Medium-high

Medium

(opposite OFF)

Medium-low

RECOMMENDED USE

. To start foods cooking.

l To bring liquids to a boil.

. To hold a rapid boil.

. To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

l For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

l To cook large amounts

of vegetables.

l To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

hiaher settina.

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.

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 and/or 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 gauge

(thick-

ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

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.

Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securefy at-

tached to the pan.

NOTES:

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

damage, use correct utensils, start cook-

ing 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:

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. Large

diameter canners/pans, 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. Too much heat

will build up and will damage the cooktop.

Start with hot water.

This reduces the

timethe control is set on high. Reduce

heat setting to lowest position needed to

keep water boiling.

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.

Refer

to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

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 kii (Part No. 242905) from

your Whirlpool dealer or authorized

Whirlpool service company.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack,

place

the rack so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD j RACK POSITION

Frozen pies, large I Lowest level or

roasts, turkeys, angel 2nd level from

foodcakes - - 1 bottom

Bundt cakes, most 2nd level from

quick breads, yeast bottom

breads, casseroles,

meats

Cookies, biscuits,

muff ins, cakes,

nonfrozen pies

2nd or 3rd 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 “Broiling rack position

chart” on page 17.

Personal Injury Hazard

9Always 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 pot holders 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.

Place

the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

For best results, allow

1l/2 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 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:

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 aluminum

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. 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.
