Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is usually a very small percentage of the total energy used in the home, cooking energy can be used efficiently. Here are some tips to help you save energy when using your cooking product.

l Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides and tight-fitting lids.

l Match the pan to the surface unit size.

lCook with a minimum of liquid or fat to help shorten cooking time.

l Preheat pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

l Start food on higher heat settings, then set surface unit control on low or off to finish cooking. Use retained heat for cooking when possible.

l Use the more efficient surface units instead of the oven when possible.

The oven vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent under the right rear surface unit. You can cook on the unit or keep food warm on it while the oven is on. The vent is needed for air circulation. Do not block the vent. Poor baking/ roasting can result.

NOTE: Plastic utensils left over the vent can melt.

Burn and Fire Hazard

If you leave a utensil on the right rear surface unit, use potholders when moving it. Pan handles can become hot enough to burn.

Keep flammable materials away from oven vent.

Failure to do so can result in burns or a fire.

Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on the unit.

“Oven peeking” may cause heat loss, longer cooking times and unsatisfactory baking results. Rely on your timer to keep track of the cooking time.

Bake cakes, pies or cookies when oven is warm. Best time is after a meal has been cooked in it.

Preheat the oven no longer than necessary.

Plan your meals for the most effiiient use of the range. When using the oven to cook one food, try to cook the rest of the meal in it also.

Do not preheat when broiling, roasting or cooking items such as casseroles.

Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

Whirlpool has long been a trusted name in home appliances, and its range of cooktops is no exception. Whether you're preparing a family meal or hosting a dinner party, a Whirlpool range combines practicality and advanced technology to enhance your cooking experience.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool ranges is their versatility. Many models offer a combination of gas and electric cooking options, allowing users to choose how they want to prepare their meals. The Gas Burners deliver precise heat control, enabling chefs to achieve the perfect simmer or rapid boiling, while the electric ovens provide even baking and roasting results.

The True Convection technology is another significant feature that sets Whirlpool ranges apart. This system uses a fan and an additional heating element to circulate hot air throughout the oven, ensuring food is cooked evenly on every rack. This is particularly beneficial for multi-layered baking or when cooking multiple dishes at once.

Whirlpool also addresses the need for convenience in the kitchen with features like the Fast Preheat setting that allows the oven to reach the desired temperature in a fraction of the time. Programmable controls, including touch-screen interfaces on select models, make it easy to set cooking times and temperatures accurately.

Cleaning is often a concern with ranges, but Whirlpool incorporates innovative technologies such as the self-cleaning oven feature. This technology uses high temperatures to burn off food residues, leaving behind only ash that can be easily wiped away. Additionally, many models have a fingerprint-resistant finish, keeping the surface clear of smudges and making maintenance a breeze.

Safety is another critical characteristic of Whirlpool ranges. Many units feature a control lock that prevents accidental operation and ensures peace of mind in households with children.

Moreover, Whirlpool's commitment to energy efficiency is evident in their range designs. They integrate eco-friendly appliances that minimize energy consumption, helping families save on utility bills while reducing their environmental impact.

In summary, Whirlpool ranges incorporate various features and technologies designed to enhance cooking performance, convenience, and safety. With options that cater to both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs, Whirlpool continues to deliver high-quality kitchen solutions that meet the diverse needs of modern households.
