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 anywhere 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.

Burn and 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 accidentally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use the

following as a guide. For best resufts, start

cooking at the high setting; then turn the control

knob down to continue cooking.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-high

To hold a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pancakes.

Medium

For gravy, pudding and icing.

(opposite OFF)

To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low

To keep food cooking after

starting it on a higher setting.

To keep food warm until

ready 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 utensils that

make good contact with the surface units.

Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porce-

lain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could

cause severe overheating, which damages the

utensil and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat

bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are

now available in most houseware stores and

departments.

The pan should have straight sides and a tight-

fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)

pans that are fairly light-weight.

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.

Product Damage Hazard

lf 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 for long periods

of time can 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.

0 Do not leave an empty utensil, or one

which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.

The utensil can overheat and may damage

the utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

Optional canning kii

To protect your range:

Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best

resufts.

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 cook-top.

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.

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 kii (Part No. 242905) from your

Whirlpool dealer or authorized WhirlpoolSM

service company.

To prolong the life of the elements:

- Prepare small batches at a time.

- Do not use elements for canning all day.

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:

1 FOOD

RACK POSITION

Frozen pies, large

roasts, turkeys Lowest level or

2nd level from

1 bottom I

Angel and bundt cakes,

most quick breads, yeast

breads, casseroles,

meats

1 Cookies, biscuits,

muffins, cakes, non-

frozen Dies

2nd level from

bottom

2nd or 3rd level

from bottom

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.

Personal Injury Hazard

Always position oven rack(s) in desired

location before turning oven on. Be sure

the rack(s) is level.

If rack(s) must be moved while oven is

hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions may

result in personal injury.

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 1‘h 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).

Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at 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 aluminum 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 because it will damage them and

could result in shock or fire hazard.
