THE OPTIONAL ROTISSERIE

If you would like a rotisserie for your oven, you can order a kit (Part No. 261881,

RCK79) from your dealer. The kit includes easy installation instructrons.

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.

Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best results and to prevent damage to the

range. 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.
