Using Your Range

Cookware

Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best cooking results and to prevent damage to the cooktop. Specralty Items with rounded or ndged bottoms (woks, ridged bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended.

Burn Hazard

l If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by the heat from the exposed section of the surface unit. Use correctly sized cook- ing utensils to prevent injury.

. 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 surround- ing areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cook- ing on HI and turn control down to continue cooking.

Optionalcanningkit

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined wrth high heat settings for long periods of trme can shorten the lrfe of regular surface units and cause damage to the cooktop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for can- ning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No.

242905) from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care’ Service Company.

NOTE: See the Cooking Guide for additional canning information.

Instructions for each oven control are covered on the following pages. Read them carefully.

When you first plug in the range, the display will show four flashing 8’s. If, after you set the clock (page 8) the display again shows four flashing 8’s; your electricity was off for a while. Reset the clock.
