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 cookware
that makes good contact with the surface units.
Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such
as some porcelain enamelware) or dented
bottoms could cause severe overheating, which
damages the cookware and/or surface unit.
You can, however, use the newer cookware
available with slightly indented bottoms or very
small expansion channels. This cookware is
specially designed to provide the good contact
needed for best cookfng results.
Also, woks, canners and teakettles with flat
bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are
now available in most stores that sell
housewares.
l
The pan should have straight sides and a tightfitting lid.
l
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
pans that are fairly lightweight.
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. Choose pans that provide
the best cooking results.
l
Handles should be made of sturdy, heatresistant material and be securely attached to
the pan.

Product Damage Hazard
l
If a surface unft 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
could 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 cookfng.
l
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which
has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The
utensil could overheat and could damage the
utensil or surface unit.

Home canning information
l
Use flat-bottomed canners for best results.
l
Use the largest sudace 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.
l
Do not place canner on two surface units at
Optional canning 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 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.
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
reflection.
l
To prolong the life of the elements:
- Prepare small batches at a time.
- Do not use elements for canning all day.
l
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
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 RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large Lowest level or 2nd
roasts, turkeys
Angel and bundt cakes,
level from bottom
2nd level from
most quick breads, bottom
yeast breads, casse-
roles, meats
Cookies, biscuits.
muff ins, cakes,
2nd or 3rd level
from bottom
nonfrozen pies
l
Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
l
If rack(s) must be moved while oven is
hot, use potholders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could 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.
