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.

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

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:

1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control

straight off.

To lower the temperature,

move

black part of knob closer to LO.

(5°C).

2. Loosen the locking screw inside

tion of the notches.
