Cookware

1 I

Pans should be the same size or

larger than the surface unit to prevent

boil-overs and hot handles.

Only use pans with flat bottoms.

Flat boftoms allow maximum contact

between the pans and surface units

for fast, even cooking. Pans with un-

even bottoms or with a raised pattern

on the bottom are not suitable. Flat-

ness of a pan can be checked by

placing an edge of a ruler across it.

There should not be space between

the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged

bottoms.

Optional Canning Kit

(Part

NO.

242905)

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 from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care” Service

Company.

See the Cooking Guide for important canning information.

Caring for your cooktop

Control Panel and Knobs

2. Pull control knobs straight off.

3. Use warm soapy water and a soft

cloth, or spray glass cleaner, to

wipe the control panel. Rinse and

wipe dry.

4. Wash control knobs in warm

soapy water. Rinse well and dry.

5. Push control knobs straight back

on. Make sure they point to OFF

Surface Units and Reflector Bowls

Removing

2. Lift the edge of the unit, opposite

the receptacle, just enough to

clear the element hold down clip

and the reflector bowl.

3. Pull the surface unit straight away

from the receptacle. 4. Lift out the reflector bowl. See

“Cleaning Chart” on page 9 for

cleaning instructions.

Replacing

2. Line up openings in the reflector

bowl with the surface unit recep-

tacle and the element hold down

clip.

3. Hold the surface unit as level as

possible with the terminal just

started into the receptacle. Push

the surface unit terminal into the

receptacle.

4. When terminal is pushed into the

receptacle as far as it will go, push

down the edge of the surface unit

opposite the receptacle. The ele-

ment hold down clip will keep the

surface unit from moving around.

CAUTION: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utenslls on the

surface unlts. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean,

they reflect heat better and look new longer.

If a reflector bowl gets dlscolored, some of the utenslls may not be

flat enough, or some may be too large for the surface unlt. In either

case, some of the heat that’s meant to go Into or around a utensll

goes down and heats the reflector bowl. Thls extra heat can discolor

it. See Cooklng Gulde for further Information.

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

1. Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result

from little things you can find and fix

without tools of any kind.

If nothing operates:

Is the cooktop wired correctly to a

live circuit with the proper voltage?

[See Installation Instructions.)

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

If surface units will not operate or

seem to cook too slow:

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

Is the surface unit control knob

turned to a setting other than OFF?

Are you using the proper cook-

ware? See page 6.

Do the control knobs turn?

If surface unit control knob(s) will

not turn:

Did you push in before trying to turn?

If cooking results aren’t what you

expected:

Is the cooktop level?

Are the pans the size called for in the

recipe?

Are you following a tested recipe

from a reliable source?

Do the cooking utensils have

smooth, flat bottoms and fit the sur-

face unit being used?

See the Cooking Guide for more infor-

mation on cooking problems and

how to solve them.
