@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 elements. 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.
.Use only utensils approved for
oven use. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions,
especially when using glass or
plastic utensils.
ADO not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
l Make sure the reflector bowls are
in place during cooking. Cooking
without reflector bowls could sub-
ject the wiring and components
underneath them to damage.
ADO not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners. Im-
proper installation of these liners
could result in a risk of electrical
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 heat-
ing element will be exposed and
could result in the igniting of cloth-
ing or pot holders. Correct pan
size also improves cooking effi-
ciency.
@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.
*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.

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.

tor Lights on 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 con-
trol knob down to continue cooking.

Fire Hazard
Be sure all control knobs are turned to
OFF and all indicator lights are OFF
when you are not cooking.
A fire could start or someone could be
burned if a surface unit is accidentally
left ON.
Cookware tips
l Select a pan that is about Ihe same size
as the surface unit.
l 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 specialty 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.
l The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
8

l The pan materlal (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.
l Handles should be made of sturdy,
heat-resistant material and be securely
attached 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
cooking on HI, and turn control down to
continue cooking.
l Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
unit. The utensil could overheat and
damage the utensil or surface unit.
Home canning information
To protect your range:
. 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 high. 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 kii (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, lifl rack at front
and pull out.
NOTE: For recommended rack placement
when broiling, see “Broiling rack position
chart” on page 20.
Personal Injury 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 pot holders or oven mitts
to protect hands.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury.
For best air circulatitin
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.
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 (3 cm).
l 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.
10

Using aluminum foil for baking
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers
from pies or casseroles:
l 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.
l Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
l Do not line oven bottom or entire oven
rack with foil or other liners. Poor baking
will result.
Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating
elements.
Failure to follow this precaution could
result in fire or electrical shock hazard
and damage to the elements.

l To ensure adequate grease drainage,
do not use cookie sheets or similar
pans for broiling. Also, covering the
broiler grid with foil is not recom-
mended. If foil is used, cut slits in foil
to line up with all openings in broiler
grid. Grease can then drain away and
cool in pan.
Failure to follow the above could result
in fire, burns, or other personal injury.
