Optional canning kit

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life of regular surface units and cause damage to 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.

Positioning racks and

General guidelines

l Always position oven rack(s) in desired location before turning oven on.

l To move rack(s), lift rack(s) at front and pull out.

l Be sure the rack(s) is level.

l if rack(s) must be moved while oven is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to protect hands.

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

l When baking on 2 racks, arrange racks on the bottom and third level from the bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on page 16.

For best air circulation

Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

lPlace the pans so that one is not directly over the other.

For best results, allow 1l/z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. There must be a minimum space of 1 inch (3 cm).

Use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at one time.
