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 snorfen the life of regular surface units and
cause damage to the cooktop,
It you plan Io use the oooktop for _.;(]nrllAg, we recommend the fflsbJi It aroi a
Cannmng Kit. Order the kit from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care Service Cornpany
Use only riot-bottomed utensils for best results and to prevent damage to the
range Specialty items with rounded or ndgea bottoms[woks ridged bottom canners

4. While pushing the surface unil terminal into
the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of
the unit nearest the receptacqe.

3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible
with the terminal just started into the
receptacle.
Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
utensils on the surface units, They Qlso help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer
If a reflector bowl gets discolored, some
of the utensils used may not be flat enough.
Or some may be too large for the surface
unit. In either case, some of the heat that is
meant to go into or around a utensil goes
down and heats the reflector bowl. This ex-
tra heat can discolor it

Ifyou need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these
four steps:
1.Before _ng for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix yourself with-
out tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
•Is the range plugged into an operating
outlet or wired into a live circuit with the
proper voltage? [See Installation
Instructions,)
• Have you checked the main fuse or circuit-
breaker box?
It the oven will not operate:
• Is the Oven Selector Knob turned to a set-
ting [BAKE or BROIL, but not TIMED)?
• Isthe Oven Temperature Control turned to a
temperature setting?
It surface units will not operate:
• Have you checked the main fuse or circuit-
breaker box?
• Are surface units plugged in al! the way?
• Do the control knobs turn?
It surface unit control knob or knobs will not
turn:
• Did you push in before trying to turn?
It soil is visible on continuous-cleaning
oven finish:
• The special finish is designed to gradually
reduce oven soil during normal baking
or roasting. It is not designed to keep your
oven spotless...only presentably clean.
• If you broil often, you may see oven soil.
•The door is cooler than oven walls. Soil will
be more visible on the door than other
areas in the oven. See page 14, "Hand
Cleaning"
If cooking results aren't what you expect:
•isthe range level?
• Are you using pans recommended in the
Cooking Guide?
• If baking, have you allowed 11/2to 2 inches
14-5 cm] on all sides of the bans for air
circulation?
• Does the oven temperature seem too low or
too high? See page 5, "Resetting the oven
temperature control"
• Have you preheated the oven as the rec-
ipe calls for?
• Are lhe pans the size called for in
the recipe?
• Are you following a tested recipe from a
reliable source?
• Do the cooking utensils have smooth, flat
bottoms?
• Do the cooking utensils fit the surface unit
being used?
See the Cooking Guide for more information
on cooking problems and how to solve them.
