Cookware tips

l Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.

l NOTE: For best resutts and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porce- lain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most houseware stores and departments.

l The pan should have straight sides and a tight- fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly light-weight.

l The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

l Handles should be made of sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

Product Damage Hazard

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 surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control down to continue cooking.

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil can overheat and may damage the utensil or surface unit.

336, Range, RS600BXY specifications

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.
