continued on next page 3

* Use only dry potholders. Moist

or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let potholder

touch hot heating elements. Do

not use a towel or bulky cloth

for a potholder. It could catch

on fire.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

Do not heat unopened contain-

ers They could explode. The

hot contents could cause burns

and container particles could

cause injury.

Do not store flammable materi-

als on or near the range. The

fumes can create an explosion

and/or fire hazard.

When using the cooktop

Make sure the reflector bowls

are in place during cooking.

Cookin %without reflector bowls

may su ject the wiring and

components underneath them to

damage.

Do not line reflector bowls with

aluminum foil or other liners.

Improper installation of these

liners may 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 heating element will be

exposed and may result in the

8 niting of clothing or potholders.

orrect pan size also improves

cooking efficiency.

Check to be sure glass cook-

ing utensils are safe for use

on the range. Only certain

types of glass, glass-ceramic,

ceramic, earthenware or other

9lazed utensils are suitable

or cooktops without breaking

due to the sudden change in

temperature.

Never leave surface units

unattended at high heat set-

tings. A boilover could result

and cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may

ignite.

-a -

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.

When usincl 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 potholder contact hot

heating element in oven.

Use care 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.

Do not 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 extin uished with

baking soda or, i

f available, a

multipurpose dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

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 good seal.

Care should be taken not to

rub, damage or move the seal.

Clean only parts recommended

in this Use and Care Guide.

Do not repair or replace any

part of the range unless specifi-

cally recommended in this

manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified

technician.

Disconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the range.

To obtain the best cooking results possible, it is important that you operate your range

properly. This section tells you everything you need to know 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

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

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 acciden-

tally 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.

RECOMMENDED USE

. To start foods cooking.

l To bring liquids to a boil.

. To hold a rapid boil.

l To fry chicken or pan-

cakes.

-~--

l For gravy, pudding and

icing.

l To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

l To keep food cooking afte

starting it on a higher

setting.

l To keep food warm until

ready 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, ribbed

(such as some porcelain enamelware) or

dented bottoms could cause severe overheat-

ing, 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 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.

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 dam-

age, use correct utensils, start cooking

on HI and turn control down to con-

tinue 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

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.

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

WhirlpoolSM service company.

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, most quick

breads, yeast

breads, casseroles,

meats

Cookies, biscuits,

muffins, cakes, non-

frozen pies

2nd level from

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 chart” on page 14.

Personal Injury Hazard

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.

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% 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 an-

other.

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 alumi-

num 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

and could result in shock or fire
