Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best cooking results and to prevent damage
to the cooktop. Specialty items with rounded.or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged
bottom canners or tea ketttes) are not recommended.
See the “Cooklng Guide” for Important utensil Intormatlon.
OptiOId hUlhg 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 from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-CareE Service
Company.
See the “Cooklng Guide” for important cannlng information.
