Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a gulde.

For best results,

start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue

cooking.

i I

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.

Optiond CaMing 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-Carem Service

Company

See the “Cooklng Guide” for Important canning information.

Adjusting the Oven Temperahire 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 adju,sted 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:

1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control

Knob straight off. 2. Loosen the locking screws inside

the control knob.

Note the posl-

tton 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 aboutlOT (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.

1. Position the rack before turning

the oven on. See broil chart in the

“Cooking Guide” or a reliable

cookbook for recommended

5. When broiling is done, turn

both

the Oven Selector and the 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 temperature, the slower the cooking.

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