A Note To You

Thank you for buying a WhirlpooP appliance.

Because your life is getting busier

and more

complicated, Whirlpool cook-tops 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 information

on how to operate and maintain your cooktop properly and safely. Please read it carefully.

Also, please complete and mail the Ownership Registration Card (U.S.A. or Canadian,

General

Read all instructions before

using the cooktop.

Install or locate the cooktop onl

in accordance with the providecy

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

cookto . Children could be

burnecf

on it. or injured while climbing

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 heatin the room.

Persons could be umed or%

injured, or a fire could start.

Use the cooktop only for its

intended use as described in

this manual.

Do not touch &ace units or

areas near units. Surface units

could 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

gam?ents when using the

cooktop. The

the touch a could Ignite if

anJ itot surface unit

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

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

When using the cooktop Grease

Do not cook on a broken cooktop.

If cooktop should break, cleaning

solutions and spillovers could

penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a risk of electrical shock.

Contact a qualified technician

immediately.

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 cooktops

without breaking due to the sud-

den 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.

Disconnect the electrical supply

before servicina the cooktoo.

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 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

cooktop by covering with a well-

fitted lid, cookie sheet, or flat

tray. Flaming grease outside of

pan can be extinguished with

baking soda or, if available, a

multipurpose dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

Clean cooktop with care. Some

cleaners could produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot sur-

face. If a wet paper towel is

used to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area, be careful to

avoid steam burns.

Do not repair or replace any

part of the cooktop unless

specifically recommended in

this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified

technician.

Using the surface units .....................6 Energy saving tips ............................. 9

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

section gives you important information for eff Cent and safe use of your cooktop.

Using the surface units

Push In control knobs before turning

them to a setting. You can set them any

where between HI and OFF (or MAX.

and 0).

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker

shows which surface unit is turned on by

that knob.

Hot surface indicator light

The Hot Surface Indicator Light on the

cooktop surface will glow when the surface

units are turned on. The Indicator Light will

continue to glow as long as a surface unit is

too hot to touch, even after all control knobs

are turned off.

Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to

OFF and the Hot Surface Indicator

Light is OFF when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire

could start if a surface unit is acciden-

tally left ON.

Models RC8640XB

and

RCWOOXB

Until you get used to the settings, use the

following as a guide.

For best results, starl

cooking at the high setting; then turn the

control knob down to continue cooking.

To keep food warm until

ready to sewe. Set the

heat higher or lower within

the LO band to keep food

at the temperature you want.

Using the dual-size surface units

(Model RC6640XB)

You can use the left front and right rear surface

units as either small diameter, lower wattage

elements (center area marked “DUAL ELE-

MENT’) or large diameter, full wattage ele-

ments (entire element to outer ring edge).

To use only the inner area of the element

(for smaller pans):

Use

inner

ring

alone for

smaller

pans -

Push in and turn

the control knob to the left

(counterclockwise) to the desired setting in

the area

marked “SINGLE.”

To use the entire element (for larger Pans):

Push in and turn

the control knob

the

right (clockwise) to the desired setting in the

area marked “DUAL.”

NOTE:

You can turn the control knob in either

direction to reach “OFF.”

Use all

rin sfor

Barger

- pans

Using the ceramic glass

cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

units, There are, however, a few differences:

l The

portion of the surface unit In use

will glow

red

when it is turned on. You will

see the element cycling on (glowing red)

and off - even on HI setting -to maintain

the proper temperature setting you have

chosen.

l Models WBC441 and IBC441: The right

rear surface unit features a halogen

element. This element lights up as soon as

you turn it on, and is brighter than conven-

tional coil elements.

l Sliding

metal pans

on ceramic glass

cook-top surface could leave marks. Wiping

off the cooktop before and after each use

will help keep the surface free from stains

and provide the most even heating. See

pages

O-l 2 for care and cleaning

suggestions.

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 uneven heating and poor cooking

results.

You can, however, use the newer cook-

ware 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

cook-top are now available in most stores

that sell housewares.

The pan

should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

l 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.

With your hand,

feel the bottom of your

pans while they are cool for nicks and

scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan

bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass

cooktop.

Make sure bottoms

of pans are clean and

dry before using on cooktop.

Avold spillovers

on cooktop. Use pans

with tall sides.

l Do

not

cook food directly on cooktop.

NOTE: 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 the entire surface

(“DUAL” setting) of

the left front surface unit for best results.

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.

Refer

to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

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.

l Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to

help shorten cooking time.

Preheat

pans only when recommended

and for the shortest time possible.

l Start food on higher heat settings, then set

surface unit

control on low 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.

Caring For Your Cooktop

In This Section

Page Page

Cleanlng the cooktop and Cleaning the control knobs ............. 12

control panel .................................... 10

Your cooktop is designed for easy care. You

can do most cleaning with items found

around your home. Cleaning your cooktop

whenever spills or soiling occurs will help to

keep it looking and operating like new.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure all controls are off and the

cooktop is cool before cleaning or

servicing.

Failure to do so could result in burns or

electriil shock.

Cleaning the cooktop and control panel

This cooktop is designed for easy care.

However, ceramic cooktops need to be

maintained differently than standard electric

open-coil elements. Foods spilled directly on

the cooktop will not bum off as on open-coil

elements. Because of this, the surface

should be dust free and soil free before

heating.

Your cooktop has been prepolished at the

factory for improved protection and

cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme

(included with your cooktop), paper towels or

a sponge, and the razor scraper included

with your cooktop is all you need to clean

your cook-top. For proper cleaning methods,

please review “Cleaning tips” on page 11.

Follow them after each use to ensure top

performance and to preserve that uniquely

elegant look.
