Using the surface units

Push in control knobs before turning them to a setting. You can set them anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob.

Surface heating indicator light

The SURFACE HEATING Indicator Light on the control panel will glow when a surface unit is turned on.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Se sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SElTING 1 RECOMMENDED USE

To start foods cooking.

To bring liquids to a boil.

Mediumhigh l To hold a rapid boil.

To fry chicken or pancakes.

Medium

(OPPOSITE

For gravy, pudding and icing.

OFF) l To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

Medium-low l To keep food cooking after

starting it on a higher setting.

To keep food warm until ready to serve.

Cookware tips

Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.

NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porcelain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most houseware stores and departments.

The pan should have straight sides and a tightfitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly light-weight.

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. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

. Handles should be made of sturdy, heat-

resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

Product Damage Hazard

. If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the

bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils for long periods of time can result in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control down to continue cooking.

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil can overheat and may damage the

utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information

Use flat-bottomed canners for best results.

Use the largest surface unit for best results.

Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered

over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not

properly centered, trap heat and can cause

damage to the cooktop.

Do not place canner on two surface units at

Optional canning kii 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 kii (Part No. 242905) from your Whirlpool dealer or authorized Whirlpools” service company.

the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.

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.

Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

To prolong the life of the elements:

- Prepare small batches at a time.

- Do not use elements for canning all day.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the

oven.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD

Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys

Angel and bundt cakes,

RACK POSlTlON Lowest level or 2nd

level from bottom 2nd level from

most quick breads, bottom

yeast breads, casse-

roles, meats

Cookies, biscuits,

muffins, cakes, non-

2nd or 3rd level from bottom

frozen pies

Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.

If rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

may result in personal injury.

Personal Injury Hazard

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on page 14.

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 1 H to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

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.

Using aluminum foil for

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 foil edges and make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger all around

than the dish holding the food.

Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and cause poor

cooking results.

Do not line oven bottom or entire oven rack

with foil or other liners. Poor baking will result.

Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements because it will damage them and

could result in shock or fire hazard.
