Positioning Racks And Pans - Whirlpool FGP335B Instruction Book

l
Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
l
Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges or
areas where food might collect.
l
Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
l
Use cookware only as it was intended to
be used. Follow pan instructions. This is
very important for glass cookware because
some should be used only in the oven.
Other pans are marked as flameware and
may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
l
For best results, use a canner which can
be centered over the surface burner.
l
Do not place canner on two surface
burners at the same time. Too much heat
will build up and will damage the cooktop.
l
Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.

roasts, turkeys

Personal Injury Hazard
l
Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location before turning oven
on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
l
If rack(s) must be moved while oven
is hot, use potholders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
l
Do not place items on the open oven
door.
l
Be careful when installing and remov-
ing large food items from sixth rack
position. Food will be close to hot
surfaces, including oven bottom and
sides.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury.
