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 unit indicator light
The Surface Unit Indicator Light on the control panel will glow when a surface unit is on.
Burn and Fire Hazard
Be 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.
7
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.
SETTING 1 RECOMMENDED USE
vegetables.
Medium-low 1 l To keep food cooking after
starting it on a higher setting.
LO
l
To keep food warm until readv to serve.
Product Damage Hazard
l
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 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 cookfng.
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.
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.
l
Handles should be made of sturdy, heat­resistant material and be securely attached to
the pan.
Home canning information
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 kit (Part No. 242905) from your Whirlpool dealer or authorized WhirlpoolSM service company.
To protect your range:
l
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans 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
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.
8
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:
l
Alwavs position oven rack(s) in desired locatibn’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.

t-i
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 16.
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!4 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
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.

Personal Injury Hazard

Using aluminum foil for baking

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.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
Do not allow foil to touch the heating elements because it will damage them and could result in shock or fire hazard.
