Range Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under

warning symbols. Please pay special

attention to these symbols and follow any

instructions given. Here is a brief explana-

tion of the use of the symbol.

This symbol alerts you to such dangers

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General

@Read all instructions before using

the range.

.Install or locate the range only in

accordance with the provided

Installation Instructions. The

range must be installed by a

qualified installer. The range

must be properly connected to

electrical supply and grounded.

@WARNING: To reduce the risk

of tipping the appliance, the ap-

pliance must be secured by a

properly installed anti-tip bracket.

To check if the bracket is in-

stalled properly, see “The anti-tip

bracket” on page 20.

@CAUTION: Do not store things

children might want above the

range. Children could be burned

or injured while climbing on it.

@Donot leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

range is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the range. They

could be burned or injured.

Do not operate the range if it is

damaged or not working properly.

Do not use the range for warming or

heating the room. Persons could be

burned or injured, or a fire could

start.

Use the range only for its intended

use as described in this manual.

Do not touch surface units, areas

near units, heating elements, or

interior surfaces of oven. Surface

units and heating elements may be

hot even though they are dark in

color. Areas near surface units and

interior surfaces of an oven become

hot enough to cause burns. During

and after use, do not touch or let

clothing or other flammable materials

contact surface units, areas near

units, heating elements, or interior

surfaces of oven until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Other sur-

faces of the range, such as the oven

vent opening, the surface near the

vent opening, the cooktop, and the

oven door and window, could also

become hot enough to cause burns.

@Donot wear loose or hanging

garments when using the range.

They could ignite if they touch a

hot surface unit and you could be

burned.

@Useonly dry pot holders. Moist

or damp pot holders on hot

surfaces could result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holder

touch hot heating elements. Do

not use a towel or bulky cloth for

a pot holder. It could catch on

fire.

*Keep range vents unobstructed.

@Donot heat unopened contain-

ers. They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns and

container particles could cause

injury.

@Useonly utensils approved for

oven use. Follow utensil

manufacturer’s instructions,

especially when using glass or

plastic utensils.

@Donot store flammable materials

on or near the range. The fumes

could create an explosion and/or

fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

@Make sure the reflector bowls are

in place during cooking. Cooking

without reflector bowls could

subject the wiring and compo-

nents underneath them to

damage.

Do not line reflector bowls with

aluminum foil or other liners.

Improper installation of these liners

could result in a risk of electric

shock or fire.

@Select a pan with a flat bottom that

is about the same size as the

surface unit. If pan is smaller than

the surface unit, some of the heat-

ing element will be exposed and

could result in the igniting of cloth-

ing or pot holders. Correct pan size

also improves cooking efficiency.

@Check to be sure glass cooking

utensils are safe for use on the

range. Only certain types of glass,

glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-

ware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for cooktops without break-

ing due to the sudden change in

temperature.

*Never leave surface units unat-

tended at high heat settings. A

boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that

could ignite.

@Turn pan handles inward, but not

over other surface units. This will

help reduce the chance of burns,

igniting of flammable materials,

and spills due to bumping of the

pan.

continued on next page

When using the oven

@Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be removed

while oven is hot, do not let pot

holder contact hot heating

element in oven.

@Usecare when opening oven

door. Let hot air or steam escape

before removing or replacing

food.

Grease

@Grease is flammable. Do not

allow grease to collect around

cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-

overs immediately.

Care and cleaning

@Donot 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 good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, dam-

age, or move the seal. Clean only

parts recommended in this Use

and Care Guide.

@Donot repair or replace any part

of the range unless specifically

recommended in this manual. All

other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

@Disconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the range.

@Donot use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on range by

covering with a well-fitted lid,

cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming

grease outside of pan can be

extinguished with baking soda or,

if available, a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Using Your Range

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This

section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Push in control knobs before turning

them to a setting. You can set them any-

where between HI and OFF.

Surface unit markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker

Surface unit indicator lights

One of the Surface Unit Indicator Liahts 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.

ISEXING RECOMMENDED USE I

6-6

l To start foods cooking.

l To bring liquids to a boil.

l To hold a rapid boil.

l To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

5 l For gravy, pudding, and

icing.

l To cook large amounts

of veaetables.

Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to

OFF and all indicator lights are OFF

when you are not cooking.

A fire could start or someone could be

burned if a surface unit is accidentally

left ON.

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

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

cooking 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

tight-fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-

ness) 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,

heat-resistant material and be securely

attached to the pan.

NOTES:

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 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 cooking.

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

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.

l Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

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 kit (Part No. 242905) from your

Whirlpool dealer or authorized Whirlpool

service company.
