Range Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under

warning symbols. Please pay special atten-

tion to these symbols and follow any instruc-

tions given. Here is a brief explanation of the

This symbol alerts you to such dangers

as personal injury, burns, fire, and

electrical shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

persons, or damage when using the range, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

Do not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the range.

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 heating ele-

ments. Do not use a towel or

bulky cloth for a pot holder. It

could catch on fire.

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.

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

range. Only certain types of glass,

glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-

ware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktops 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.

Do not store flammable materi-

als on or near the range. The

fumes could create an explo- *@i&

sion and/or fire hazard.

tive harm. Exposure can be

minimized by venting with a hood

or open window and wiping out

excess food spills prior to self-

cleaning.

Grease

Grease is flammable. Do not

allow grease to collect around

cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-

overs 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

extinguished with baking soda or,

if available, a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam-type extin-

guisher.

Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan, broiler grid,

oven racks, and other utensils. Do

not use your oven to clean mis-

cellaneous parts unless you are

instructed to do so in this Use and

Care Guide.

Do not 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 good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, dam-

Using Your Range

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 control panel will glow when

. - a surface unit is 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.

SElTING RECOMMENDED USE

6-8

l To start foods cooking.

l To bring liquids to a boil.

l To hold a rapid boil.

l To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

5 l For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

2-4

l To cook large amounts

of vegetables.

l To keep food cooking

after starting it on a

higher setting.

l To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

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.

Cookware tips

l 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 dam-

ages 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

cook-top are now available in most stores

that sell housewares.

l The pan should have straight sides and a

tight-fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge

(thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

l 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.

l Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely at-

tached to the pan.

NOTES:

l 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 cook-

ing 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 could overheat and could

damage the utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

l Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best

results.

l 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.

l Do not place canner on two surface units

at the same time. Too much heat will build

up and will damage the cooktop.

l Start with hot water. This reduces the

time the control is set on HI. Reduce heat

setting to lowest position needed to keep

water boiling.

l 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.

l 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

muffins, cakes, from bottom

nonfrozen pies

When baking on two racks, arrange racks

on bottom and third level from bottom.

To change rack position, lift rack at front

and pull out.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement

when broiling, see “Broiling rack position

chart” on page 16.

Personal Injury Hazard

*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 pot holders or oven mitts

to protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

could result in personal injury.

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the Use the following as a guide to

oven. This results in better baking.

l Place the pans so that one is not directly

over the other.

l For best results, allow 1l/2 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).

l Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at

one time.

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.
