Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to a boil.

Use MED-HI to hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.

Use MED for gravy, puddings and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.

Use MED-LO to keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.

Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve.

l Using a pan with a nicked or scratched bottom could damage the ceramic cooktop.

l Heating a soiled pan can leave a stain on the cooktop and cause scratches.

NOTE: For additional modules, contact a WhirlpoolSM service company or dealer.

Cookware (for all modules)

Pans should be the same size or slightly larger than the surface unit to prevent boil-overs and hot handles.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils on the cooktop. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking.

Pans without flat bottoms and specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged bottom canners or tea kettles) will cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom of each piece. Move the straight-edge around. If light shows anywhere between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.

Usingthe grill

Before you use the grill for the first time:

Wash with warm, soapy water; rinse and dry. Never use a metal scrubbing pad or abrasive cleanser on the grill; these will damage the non- stick surface. After cleaning, lightly wipe cooking surface with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking.

Cooking tips

Do not cover the entire cooking surface with meat. Leave space between the food items to allow smoke and steam to ventilate properly. Meat with a normally high fat content will produce more smoke and flare-ups, but cook faster than lean meat. Trim fat from meat before placing on the grill to prevent excessive smoke or

flare-ups.

If meat begins to cook too quickly, turn the grill control knob to a lower setting.

Do not leave grill unattended.

Fire and Product Damage Hazard

l If grease causes excessive flare-ups DO NOT PUT WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.

To put out fire:

-Remove food from the grill, turn the grill control to OFF and cover the grill with a large metal pan.

-Make sure the vent system has been switched to ON.

l The use of metal utensils can scratch the non-stick coating. Only nylon or plastic utensils should be used.
