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

Control knobs must be pushed in before

turning them to a setting. They can be set

anywhere between HI and OFF.

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 results, start

cooking at the high settings; then turn the control

knob down to continue cooking.

SElTING

Medium-high

RECOMMENDED USE

To star-l foods cooking.

9 To bring liquids to a boil.

To hold a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pancakes.

For gravy, pudding and icing.

To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

To keep food cooking after

starting it on a higher setting.

To keep food warm until

ready to serve.

Cookware tips

There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is

best for all people. Knowing something about

pan materials and construction will help you

select the right cooking utensils for your needs.

For best results and greater energy efficiency,

use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good

contact with the surface units. To check the

flatness of a utensil:

-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan

by placing a ruler across it.

-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There

should be no gaps between the pan and the

ruler.

NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with flat

bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are

now available in most houseware stores or

departments.

The pan should have straight sides and a tight-

fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)

pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that

a very heavy pan will be even heavier when

filled with food.

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 a sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached to

the pan.

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which

has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. It can

overheat and may damage the utensil or

surface unit.

Do not use canners, woks and specialty

utensils with rounded, warped, ridged or dented

bottoms. These could cause severe overheat-

ing which damages the utensil and/or surface

unit.

Product Damage Hazard

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 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.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best

results.

For best results, use the largest surface unit.

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. Excessive heat build-up 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.

To prolong the life of the elements:

-Prepare small batches at a time.

-Do not use elements for canning all day.

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 WhirlpoolSM

service company.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack

should be placed so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven. Always leave at least ll/z to

2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan

and the oven walls and other pans.

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines

for specific foods:

Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen

pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on

lowest level.

Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and

meats-place rack on second or third level from

bottom.

Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-

place rack on second or third 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.

Allow 1X-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around

each pan and between pans and oven walls.

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.

NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss,

longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or

roasting results. Use a reliable kitchen timer to

keep track of the cooking time.
