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
l

OFF) l To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
Medium-low l To keep food cooking after
starting it on a higher setting.
LO
l

to serve.
Cookware tips
l
Select a pan that is about the same size as the
surface unit.
l
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.
l
The pan should have straight sides and a tightfitting lid.
l
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
pans that are fairly light-weight.
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.
. 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
I
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.
l
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
l
Use flat-bottomed canners for best results.
l
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.
l
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.
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.
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
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
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.
l
Place the pans so that one is not directly over
the other.
l
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).
l
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.
l
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.
l
Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circulation and cause poor
cooking results.
l
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.
