Positioning Racks And Pans - Whirlpool SF387PEY Use And Care Manual

• Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges,
or areas where food might collect.
• Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
• 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 larger diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for tong periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
• For best results, use a canner which can
be centered over the surface burner.
• Do not place canner on two surface
burners at the same time. Too much heat
will build up and will damage the cooktop.
* 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.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
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.

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

when broiling, see "Broiling rack position
