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.

See the Cooking Guide for important utensil information.

Optional 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 Oven Controls

Baking

Position the rack properly

before turning on the oven. To

change rack position, lift rack at

front and pull out.

2. Set the Oven Selector to BAKE.

The rack should be placed so the

top of the food will be centered in

the oven. Always leave at least

II'2

2 inches (4-5 cm] between the sides

of the pan and the oven walls and

other pans. For more information,

see the Cooking Guide.

3. Set the Oven Temperature Control

to the baking temperature you

want. The Oven Signal Light will

come on. The oven is preheated

when the Oven Signal Light first

goes off.

4. Put food in the oven. NOTE: Oven

rack, walls and door will be hot.

During baking, the elements will

turn on and off to keep the oven

temperature at the setting. The

Oven Signal Light will turn on and

off with the elements,

The top element helps heat

during baking, but does not

turn red.

5. When baking is done, turn both

the Oven Selector and Oven

Temperature Control to OFF.

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 you noticing the change.

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

comparing 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 screws inside

the control knob. Note the posi-

tion of the notches.

NOTCHES TOOTH

3. To lower the temperature, move

the tooth a notch closer to LO.

Each notch equals about IOE

(5°C).

TOOTH NOTCHES

To raise the temperature, move

the tooth a notch closer to HI. Each

notch equals about 1O’;F(5°C).

Tighten the locking screws and

replace the control knob.

Broiling

A broiler pan and grid (Part Numbers 310976 and 258171) may be ordered from

your Whirlpool Dealer.

Position the rack before turning

the oven on. See “Broil Chart” in

the Cooking Guide or a reliable

cookbook for recommended

rack positions.

Close tl

P door to the Broil Stop

position (open about 4 inches,

10.2 cm). The door will stay open

by itself.

2. Put the broiler pan and food on

the rack.

4. Set the Oven Selector and Oven

Temperature Control to BROIL.

5. When broiling is done,turn both

the Oven Selector and Oven

Temperature Control to OFF.

Custom Broil

If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclock-

wise until the Oven Signal Light goes off.

If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature

Control between 150” and 325°F (65.5” and 162.7”C). The lower the tempera-

ture, the slower the cooking.

The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.

NOTE: The door must be partly open whenever the oven is set to BROIL.

leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures.

The Oven Vent

Hot air and moisture escape from the

oven through a vent under the right

rear surface unit. You can cook on the

unit, or keep food warm on it while

the oven is on.

CAUTION: Plastic utensils lett

over the vent can melt.

Do not block the vent. Poor baking

can result.

Optional Rotisserie

If you would like a rotisserie for your oven, you can order a kit (Part No.

RCK-79/261881) from your Whirlpool Dealer.The kit includes easy installation

instructions.
