CAUTION – Do not store items of interest to
•
children in cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of a range – children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – Be sure the range is properly
•
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the
•
Room.
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should
•
not be left alone or unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the range.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging
•
garments should never be worn while using
the range.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part
•
of the range unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable
•
materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother
•
fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp
•
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
•
NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are
the cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top.
Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped
•
with one or more surface units of different size.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
•
Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
•
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to
•
line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms,
except as suggested in the manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
•
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
•
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements –
•
Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.

ready to serve.
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
Easy ways to save energy
Match the pan to the surface cooking
•
area size.
The pan should have a flat bottom,
•
straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
To help shorten your cooking time, use
•
the least amount of liquid possible.
Preheat your pots and pans only when
•
recommended and for the shortest time
possible.
Start your food on a higher heat setting,
•
then turn the control to a lower setting to

USING YOUR RANGE
Using cookware
Use the correct cookware to prevent damage to
•
the surface cooking area, cooktop, wiring, and
surrounding areas.
If the cookware is too small for the surface
•
cooking area or the bottom is not flat, the
surface cooking area could stay glowing red
for an extended length of time causing damage
to the range.
If you start cooking on high, it is important to turn
•
the control down to a lower setting to complete
cooking.
The surface cooking area could overheat or be
•
damaged if a pot has boiled dry or has been left
empty on a hot surface cooking area.
Using the right cookware
makes a big difference
Flat bottomed cookware, including woks,
•
canners, and teakettles, will provide better
contact with the surface cooking area and
provide the best cooking results.
Warped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed
•
cookware can result in uneven cooking
due to incomplete contact with the surface
cooking area.
Cookware that has been designed with
•
slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.
Choose medium to heavy gauge
•
(thickness) cookware.
The pan material (type of metal or glass)
•
affects how quickly and evenly the
pan heats.
Home canning information
To protect your range:
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.
•
1"1"
Surface
cooking area
canners/pans, if not centered correctly, trap heat
and can cause damage to the cooktop.
Do not place your canner on 2 surface cooking
•
When canning for long periods of time, alternate
•
use of the surface cooking areas between
batches to allow the areas to cool down, or
prepare food in small batches.
On coil element model, keep your reflector bowls
•
clean so that they will always reflect heat well.
Refer to your canner manual for specific
•
instructions.
Pan
Use the largest
•
surface cooking area
for best results. Also,
use a canner/pan that
you can center over
the surface cooking
area and that does
not extend more than
one inch outside the
surface cooking area.
Large diameter
areas at the same time.
Too much heat will
build up and damage
the cooktop.
Start with hot water.
•
This reduces the time
the control is set on
high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest
position needed to
keep water boiling.
Optional canning kit
(Coil element model)
Most water-bath or pressure canners have large
diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat
settings for long periods of time, you can shorten
the life of regular coil elements. This can also
damage the cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop
for canning, we recommend the installation of a
Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from
your Whirlpool dealer or authorized Whirlpool
service company.

Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop.
•
Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave
marks that are difficult to remove or could leave
permanent marks.
Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop
•
could crack it. Be careful when using heavy
skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans

setting – to help the
Do not allow anything that could melt, such as
•
plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with
the cooktop while it is hot.
Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See
•
“Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the
“Caring for Your Range” section for care and
cleaning suggestions.
Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use
•
will help keep the surface free from stains and
give you the most even heating. See “Cleaning the
ceramic glass cooktop” in the “Caring for Your
Range” section for care and cleaning suggestions.
Using cookware on ceramic
glass cooktops
Check for rough spots on the bottom of
•
your metal or glass cookware which could
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans
•
are clean and dry before using them. Food
and water particles left on the bottoms can
leave deposits on the cooktop when it is
heated.
NOTE:Do not leave empty cookware, or cook-
ware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking
area. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to itself or the surface cooking area.

General guidelines
Follow this section carefully to get the best
cooking results.
Before turning on the oven, place oven racks
•
where you need them.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop, raise the
•
front edge, and lift it out.
Be sure the rack(s) is level.
•
Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your
•
hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven
is hot.
When baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the
•
rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.
When baking/roasting on 2 racks, position racks
•
in oven to allow good circulation of air around all
the food.
Do not place items on the oven door when it
•
is open.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys, angel
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most
quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
NOTE: For information on where to place your rack
when broiling, see “Broiling guide” later in this
section.

Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof
glassware, and dark metal pans
When baking with insulated cookie sheets
•
or baking pans, place them in the bottom
third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing from
the oven.
When using ovenproof glassware or dark
•
bakeware, reduce the oven temperature
by 25°F but use the same baking time.
Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier
crusts, place the rack in the center of the
oven. When baking pies and bread, you
can use the temperature suggested in
the recipe.
11
USING YOUR RANGE
FORBESTAIRCIRCULATION
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.
Place the pans so
•
that one is not directly
over the other.
For best results,
•
allow 11⁄2-2 inches of
space around each pan
and between pans and
oven walls.
For best baking results, bake 1 sheet of cookies
at a time using rack 3.
If baking with
•
2 cookie sheets, use
racks 2 and 4. Switch
the cookie sheets to
the opposite rack
about 2⁄3 of the way
through the baking
time, then finish
baking.
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE
1 pan
2 pans
3 or 4 pans
PLACE
In center of the oven rack.
Side by side or slightly
staggered.
In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly
over another.
USINGALUMINUMFOILFORBAKING
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies
or casseroles:
Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack
•
with the food. Turn up
the foil edges and make
sure the foil is about
1 inch larger all around
than the dish holding
the food.
Do not cover the entire
•
rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circulation and give you poor
cooking results.
Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack
•
with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of
your baking.
