Whirlpool SS385PEE important safety instructions Positioning racks and pans

Page 8

USING YOUR RANGE

•Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops, especially ceramic glass. Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.

•Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time.

•Alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches or prepare small batches at a time.

•Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

•Keep reflector pans clean for best heat reflection.

•Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

For up to date information on canning, contact your local US Government Agricul- tural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

Positioning racks and pans

To remove racks:

1.Pull rack toward you.

2.Tilt up front end.

3.Pull rack out.

To replace racks:

1.Place rack on rack guides.

2.Tilt up front end.

3.Push rack in until it clears the stop.

4.Lower front and push rack in the rest of the way.

General guidelines

•Before turning on the oven place oven racks where you need them.

•Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

•For baking/roasting with 1 rack, place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

•When baking/roasting on 2 racks, position racks in oven to allow good circulation of air around all the food.

•Do not place items on the oven door when it is open.

Bakeware tips

•When baking with insulated cookie sheets or baking pans, place them in the bottom third of the oven. You may need to increase the recommended baking times, so test for doneness before removing from the oven.

•When using ovenproof glassware or dark bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F but use the same baking time. Because these pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in the center of the oven.
