THE OVEN VENT
When the oven is on, hot air and moisture
escape through a vent underthe right rear
surface unit. The vent is needed for air circu-
/alion in the oven
Do not block the vent. Poor baking can result
THE OPTIONAL ROTISSERIE
If you would like a rotisserie for your oven. you can order a kit (Part No
261880) from your dealer The kit includes easy installation instructions
ACCESSORY CANNING KIT (Part No. 242905)
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 su:face units and
cause damage to the cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a
Canning Kit. Orderthe kit from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care Service Company
Use only flu?-bottomed utensils for best results and to prevent damage to the
range. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged bottom canners
or tea kettles] are ?ot recommended See the “Cooking Guide” for Important utensil
Information.
