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.
l 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.
l The pan should have straight sides and a tight-
fitting lid.
l 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.
l 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.
l Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached to
the pan.
l Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has
boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. lt can overheat
and may damage the utensil or surface unit.
l Do not use canners, woks and specialty utensils
with rounded, warped, ridged or dented tot-
toms. These could cause severe overheating
which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.
Product Danlege Hazard
If a surface unit stays rel for a long time,
the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or
is too small for the suria?s unit. Prolonged
usage of incorrect uterus 1:sfor long periods
of time can resutl in damage to the surface
unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas.
To prevent damage, use correct utensils,
start cooking on HI and t IJrn control down to
continue cooking.

Home canning information
To protect your range:
l Use flat-bottomed canners for best results. Do
not use canners with dented or ridged (porce-
lain enamel-ware) bottoms. They do not make
good contact with the surface unit and cause
severe overheating which damages the
=-)P-
l For best results, use the largest surface unit.
Also, use a canner which can be centered over
the surface unit. Large diameter canners, if not
properly centered, trap heat and can cause
damage to the cooktop.
l Do not place canner on twu surface units at the
same time. Excessive heat build-up 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
ref &ion.
l To prolong the life of the elements:
-Prepare small batches at a time.
-Do not use elements for canning all day.
Optbnal cannlrtg klt
The large diameter of mo!51rvater-bath or
pressure canners combine! with high heat
settings for long periods c# time can shorten the
life of regular surface units and cause damage to
the cooktop.
tf you plan to use the cot CIop for canning, we
recommend the installatio’n trf a Canning Kit.
Order the kit (Part No. 24:2!05) from your
Whirlpool dealer or autholii ed WhirlpooP”
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 1’12to
2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan
and the oven walls and other pans.
For proper cooklng, follow these guldellnes
for speclfk foods:
. Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen
pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on
lowest level.
l Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and
meats-place rack on second or third level from
bottom.
l Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-
place rack on second or third level from bottom.
When baking on two racks. arrange radcs on
bottom and third level from bottom.
NOTE: For recommended rack placement when
broiling, see a reliable cookbook.
Personal Injur)~ Hazard
l Always position oven rilc:k(s) in desired
location before turning lven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
l tf rack(s) must be movt (1while oven is
I hot, use potholders or cliven mitts to
protect hands.
Failure to follow the abolo precautions
may result in personal inj Lry.

For best air circulation .-
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven
for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
l Place the pans so that one is not directly over
the other.
l Allow 1‘B-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around
each pan and between pans and oven walls.
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.
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.
Using aluminum foil forri
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. The foil should have the edges
turned up and be about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all
around than the dish hotding the food.
l Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
lt will reduce air circulation and cause poor
cooking results.
l Do not line oven bottom with foil or other liners.
Poor baking will result.
Electrical Shock and Flre Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating
elements because it will damage them and
could result in shock or fire hazard.
