and carbon monoxide are iven off in the Self-Cleaning cyc e 9 from fiberglass insulation and

food decomposition. Significant

exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproduc-

tive harm. Exposure can be

minimized by venting with a hood or open window and

wiping out excess food spills

prior to self-cleaning.

@Do not use oven cleaners. No

B Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide.

*Do not soak removable heating

elements in water. The element

will be damaged and shock or fire could result.

@Do not clean door heat seal. It

is essential for a ood seal. Care should be ta

en not to rub, damage or move the seal. Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.

Using the surface units

Control knobs must be pushed In before

turnlng them to a setting. They can be set

anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

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

Until you get used to the settings, use the

following ae a guide. For best results, start

cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Cookware tips

There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is best

for all people. Knowing something about pan materi-

als and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.

For best resufts and greater energy efficiency, use

only flat-bottomed utensils that may good contact

with the surface units. To check the flatness of a

utensil:

-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.

-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.

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

The pan should have straight sides and a tight-

fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans

that are fairly lightweight. Remember that a very

heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.

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 a sturdy, heat-resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

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

Do not use canners, woks and specialty utensils with rounded, warped, ridged or dented bottoms. These could cause severe overheating which damage6 the utensil and/or surface unit.

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.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.

For best results, use the largest surface unit.

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, i-f not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

Do not place canner on two surface units at the

Optlonal canning klt 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 WhirlpoolSM service company.

same time. Excessive heat build-up 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, the rack should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1% to

2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan

and the oven walls and other pans.

For proper cooklng, follow these guldellnes for speclflc foods:

Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on lowest level.

Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and meats-place rack on second or third level from bottom.

Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen piesplace rack on second or third level from bottom.

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.

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

For best air circulation

The 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.

Allow 1 ‘X-2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

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.

NOTE: “Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking or roasting results. Use a reliable kitchen timer to keep track of the cooking time.

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. The foil should have the edges turned up and be 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.

Electrlcal Shock and Flre Hazard

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