Using Your Range
Continued
Cookware
Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best cooking
results and to prevent damage to the cooktop.
Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms
(woks, ridged bottom canners or tea kettles) are
not recommended.
Burn and Product Damage Hazard
l
If the pan is too small for the surface unit,
you could be burned by the heat from the
exposed section of the surface unit. Use
correctly sized cooking utensils to prevent
injury.
*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.
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 WhirlpoolSM service company.
NOTE:
See the Cooking Guide for additional
canning information.
