RANGE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
•
TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST
BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED
ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES
ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE
FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE
RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS
UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
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

Fire Hazard
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
finish cooking.
Place a filled pan on the surface cooking
area before turning it on.
Coil element model: Keep your reflector
bowls clean for best heat reflection.

USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)
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
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
canners/pans, if not
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.

USING YOUR RANGE
USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)
Using the ceramic glass cooktop
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is similar
to cooking on coil
elements. There are,
however, a few
differences:
The surface cooking
•
area will glow red when
the element is turned
HOT SURFACEHOT SURFACE
area stay at the temperature setting you chose.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
•
Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged
•
aluminum containers on the cooktop. The
container could leave aluminum marks on the
cooktop that cannot be removed completely.
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
above the cooktop.
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•
Do not allow anything that could melt, such as
•
plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with
the cooktop while it is hot.
on. You will see the
element cycling on and
off – even on the HI
setting – to help the
Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See
•
“Cleaning the ceramic glass cooktop” in the
“Caring for Your Range” section for more
information.
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 cookware
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface cooking
area. The cookware could overheat, causing
damage to itself or the surface cooking area.
Hot surface indicator lights
(Ceramic glass cooktop model)
One of the hot surface indicator lights on the
cooktop will glow when a surface
cooking area becomes too hot to

touch. The indicator light will
continue to glow as long as the
surface cooking area is too hot to
touch, even after it is turned off.
POSITIONING RACKS AND PANS
USING YOUR RANGE
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.
RACK POSITION

2nd or 3rd rack
guide from bottom
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
FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION
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.
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.
USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING
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.
