USING YOUR RANGE

USING THE SURFACE COOKING AREAS (CONT.)

Using cookware

•Use the correct cookware to prevent damage to the surface cooking area, cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas.

•If the cookware is too small for the surface cooking area or the bottom is not flat, the surface cooking area could stay glowing red for an extended length of time causing damage to

the range.

•If you start cooking on high, it is important to turn the control down to a lower setting to complete cooking.

•The surface cooking area could overheat or be damaged if a pot has boiled dry or has been left empty on a hot surface cooking area.

Using the right cookware makes a big difference

•Flat bottomed cookware, including woks, canners, and teakettles, will provide better contact with the surface cooking area and provide the best cooking results.

•Warped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed cookware can result in uneven cooking due to incomplete contact with the surface cooking area.

•Cookware that has been designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

•Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.

•The pan material (type of metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.

Home canning information

To protect your range:

•Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.

•Use the largest

centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

•Do not place your canner on 2 surface cooking areas at the same time. Too much heat will build

up and damage the cooktop.

• Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

•When canning for long periods of time, alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches to allow the areas to cool down, or prepare food in small batches.

•On coil element model, keep your reflector bowls clean so that they will always reflect heat well.

•Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

Optional canning kit

(Coil element model)

Most water-bath or pressure canners have large diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat settings for long periods of time, you can shorten the life of regular coil elements. This can also damage 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.
