canning
information
To protect your range:
l
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans
for
best results.
l
Use the largest surface unit
for best
results. Also, use a canner/pan which can
be centered over the surface unit and
which does not extend more than 1 inch
outside surface unit area. Large diameter
canners/pans,
if not properly centered, trap
heat and can cause damage to the
cooktop.
l
Do not place canner
on 2 surface units 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.
l
Refer
to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
l
Keep reflector bowls clean
for best heat
reflection.
l
To prolong the life of the elements:
-Prepare small batches
at a time.
- Do not use elements
for canning
all day.
Optional canning kit
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 (Part No. 242905) from
your Whirlpool dealer or authorized
Whirlpool service company.
Positioning
racks and pans
General
guidelines
l
Always position oven rack(s)
in desired
location before turning oven on.
l
To move rack(s),
lift rack(s) at front and
pull out.
l
Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
l
If rack(s) must be moved
while oven is
hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
l
For baking/roasting
with 1 rack,
place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
l
When baking on 2 racks,
arrange racks
on the bottom and third level from the
bottom.
