*Do not touch surface units,

areas near units, heating ele-

ments or interior surfaces of

oven. Surface units and heating

elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color.

Areas near surface units and

interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enou h to cause

burns. During an8 after use,

do not touch, or let clothing

or other flammable materials

contact surface units, areas

near units, heatin elements or

interior surfaces 0 oven until

they have had sufficient time

to cool. Other surfaces of the

range, such as the oven vent

opening, the surface near the

vent opening, the cooktop, and

the oven door could also be-

come hot enough to cause

burns.

@Donot wear loose or hanging

garments when using the

range. They could ignite if they

touch a hot surface unit and

you could be burned.

continued on next page 3

4Jse only d potholders. Moist

or damp po holders on hot sur-

faces could result in burns from

steam. Do not let potholder

touch hot heating elements. Do

not use a towel or bulk

fo;or~otholder. It coul J cloth

catch

*Keep range vents unobstructed.

*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 range. The

fumes could create an explosion

and/or fire hazard.

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.

@Donot 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

8 niting of clothing or potholders.

orrect pan size also improves

cooking efficiency.

Check to be sure 9lass cook-

ing utensils are sa e for use on

the range. Only certain types

of glass, glass-ceramic, ce-

ramic, earthenware or other

glazed utensils are suitable for

cooktops without breaking due

to the sudden change in

temperature.

*Never leave surface units

unattended at high heat set-

tin s. A boilover could result

an%cause smokin and

grr;~y sprllovers tI!at could

*Turn pan handles inward, but

not over other surface units.

This will help reduce the

chance of burns, i

9niting of

flammable materia s, and

spills due to bumping of the

pan.

When using the oven

Always position oven rack(s)

in desired location while oven

is cool. If a rack must be re-

moved while oven is hot, do

not let potholder contact hot

heating element in oven.

@Usecare when opening oven

door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or

replacing food.

Jaking soda or, i

9available, a

nultipurpose dry chemical or

‘oam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

@Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are

off in the Self-Cleaning cyc e

9iven

from fiberglass insulatron and

food decomposition. Si

exposure to these subs

9nificant

antes

could cause cancer or repro-

ductive harm. Exposure can be

minimized by venting with a

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 heating indicator light

The SURFACE HEATING Indicator Light on

the control panel will glow when a surface

unit is turned 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 1 RECOMMENDEDUSE j

Medium

l For gravy, pudding and

(opposite OFF) icing.

l To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low

l To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

l To keep food warm until

readv to serve.

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

(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 cook-

ing results.

Handles

should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely at-

tached to the pan.

Product Damage Hazard

l If

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 dam-

age, use correct utensils, start cooking

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 coukf 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

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.

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 kit (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 RACK POSITION

Frozen pies, large Lowest level or

roasts, turkeys, angel 2nd level from

food cakes bottom

Bundt cakes, most 2nd level from

quick breads, yeast bottom

breads, casseroles,

meats

Cookies, biscuits, 2nd or 3rd level

muff ins, cakes, from bottom

nonfrozen pies

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 14.

Burn Hazard

l Always 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 potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could resuft in burns.

For best air circulation

The 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

1YZto 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 4

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 alumi-

num 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.
