A NOTE TO YOU

Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to

persons, or damage when using the cooktop,

follow basic precautions, including the following:

may be hot even though they

are dark in color. Areas near

surface units become hot

enough to cause burns. During

and after use, do not touch, or

let clothing or other flammable

materials contact surface units

or areas near units until they

have had sufficient time to

cool.

•Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the

cooktop. They could ignite if

they touch a hot surface unit

and you could be burned.

•Use only dry pot holders. Moist

or damp pot holders on hot

surfaces could result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot

holder touch hot surface units.

Do not use a towel or bulky

cloth for a pot holder. It could

catch on fire.

•Do not heat unopened contain-

ers. They could explode. The

hot contents could cause burns

and container particles could

cause injury.

•Do not store flammable materi-

als on or near the cooktop. The

fumes could create an explo-

sion and/or fire hazard.

continued on next page

General

•Read all instructions before

using the cooktop.

•Install or locate the cooktop only

in accordance with the provided

Installation Instructions. The

cooktop must be installed by a

qualified installer. The cooktop

must be properly connected to

electrical supply and grounded.

•CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the

cooktop. Children could be

burned or injured while climbing

on it.

•Do not leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

cooktop is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the cooktop.

They could be burned or in-

jured.

•Do not operate the cooktop if it

is damaged or not working

properly.

•Do not use the cooktop for

warming or heating the room.

Persons could be burned or

injured, or a fire could start.

•Use the cooktop only for its

intended use as described in

this manual.

•Do not touch surface units or

areas near units. Surface units

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using the cooktop

•Make sure the drip bowls are in

place during cooking. Cooking

without drip bowls could subject

the wiring and components

underneath them to damage.

•Do not line drip bowls with

aluminum foil or other liners.

Improper installation of these

liners could result in a risk of

electrical 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

holders. Correct pan size also

improves cooking efficiency.

•Check to be sure glass cooking

utensils are safe for use on the

cooktop. Only certain types of

glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic,

earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook-

tops without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature.

•Never leave surface units unat-

tended at high heat settings.A

boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that could ignite.

•Turn pan handles inward, but

not over other surface units.

This will help reduce the

chance of burns, igniting of

flammable materials, and spills

due to bumping of the pan.

Grease

•Grease is flammable. Do

not allow grease to collect

around cooktop. Wipe

spillovers immediately.

•Do not use water on grease

fires. Never pick up a flaming

pan. Smother flaming pan on

range by covering with a

well-fitted lid, cookie sheet,

or flat tray. Flaming grease

outside of pan can be extin-

guished with baking soda or,

if available, a multipurpose

dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

•Do not soak removable heat-

ing elements in water. The

element will be damaged and

shock or fire could result.

•Do not repair or replace any

part of the cooktop unless

specifically recommended in

this manual. All other servic-

ing should be referred to a

qualified technician.

•Disconnect the electrical sup-

ply before servicing the cook-

top.

RECOMMENDED USE

•To start foods cooking.

•To bring liquids to a boil.

•To hold a rapid boil.

•To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

•For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

•To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

•To keep food cooking

after starting it on a higher

setting.

•To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

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 securely attached

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 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 damage

the utensil or surface unit.

Simmer element

Models IBC310 and WBC310: The right

rear element can maintain lower tempera-

tures for preparation of foods which require

very low heat.

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.

USING YOUR COOKTOP

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 drip bowls clean.

•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.

Home canning information

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, authorized Whirlpool

service company, or authorized Inglis

Limited Appliance Service company

(in Canada).

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

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is

usually a very small percentage of the total

energy used in the home, cooking energy

can be used efficiently. Here are some tips

to help you save energy when using your

cooking product:

•Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,

and tight-fitting lids.

•Match the pan to the surface unit size.

•Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to

help shorten cooking time.

•Preheat pans only when recommended

and for the shortest time possible.

•Start food on higher heat settings, then

set surface unit control on LO or OFF to

finish cooking. Use retained heat for

cooking when possible.

•Turn on the surface unit only after placing

filled pan on the unit.

•Plan your meals for the most efficient use

of the cooktop.

•Keep drip bowls clean.
