Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best cooking result and to prevent damage

to the cooktop. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged

bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended.

See the “Cooking Guide” for important utensil information.

Optional accessory canning kit

(Part No. 242905)

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 from your Whirlpool Dealer or Tech-Care’ Service

Company.

See the “Cooking Guide” for important canning information.

Using the lower oven

The lower oven is always set with two knobs:

-The Oven Selector

Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control

Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The Temperature of

your old oven may have shifted gradually without your noticing the change.

Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But, when

compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different results.

If after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the

temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:

Pull the Oven Temperature Control

Knob straight off. 2. Loosen the locking screw inside

the control knob. Note the posi-

tion of the notches.

To lower the temperature, move

a notch closer to LO.Each notch

equals aboutlO”F (5°C).

4. To raise the temperature, move

a notch closer to HI. Each notch

equals aboutlOaF (5°C).

Tlghten the locking screw and

replace the control knob.

Using the automatic MEALTIMER* Clock

The automatic MEALTIMER Clock will turn the lower oven on and off at times you

set-even when you are not around.

as meats and casseroles. Do not use the automatic cycle for cakes, cookies,
