Care and cleaning

Small amounts of formalde-

hyde and carbon monoxide

are given off in the Self-

Cleaning cycle from fiber-

lass insulation and food

ecomposition. Significant

exposure to these substances

could cause cancer or repro-

ductive harm. Exposure can

be minimized by venting with

a hood or open window and

wiping out excess food spills

prior to self-cleaning.

ADOnot use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or

oven liner rotective coating of

any kind sItould be used in or

around any part of the oven.

*Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broilercf an, broiler 9nd,

oven racks an other utensr s.

Do not use your oven to clean

miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this

Use and Care Guide.

ADOnot soak removable heating

elements in water. The element

will be damaged and shock or

fire could result.

*Do not clean door heat seal. It

is essential for a ood seal.

Care should be ta3(en not to rub,

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 knoba before turning them to

a setting. You can set them anywhere 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 light

The Surface Unit 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 settlngs, use the

following as a guide. For best resufts, start

cooking at the high setting: then turn the control

knob down to continue cooking.

To hold a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pancakes.

Medium

For gravy, pudding and icing.

(opposite OFF) . To cook large amounts of

Medium-low

To keep food cooking after

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 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 (thickness)

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 securely attached to

the pan.

I 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 for long periods

of time could resuft in damage to the

surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surround-

ing areas. To prevent damage, use correct

utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control

down to continue 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 information

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 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.

Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

Optional canning kii

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 Whirlpoole 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 RACK POSlTlON

Frozen pies, large roasts, Lowest level or 2nd

turkeys level from bottom

Angel and bundt cakes, 2nd level from

most quick breads, yeast bottom

breads, casseroles, meats

Cookies, biscuits, muffins, 2nd or 3rd level

cakes, nonfrozen pies from bottom

When baking on two rackr, arrange racks on

bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when

broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on

page 14.

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 resuft 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 beet 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).

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 spillovero 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.

lt 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.
