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

Burn and Product Damage Hazard
l
If the pan is too small for the surface element, you could be burned by
the heat from the exposed section of the surface element. Use correctly
sized cooking utensils to prevent injury.
l
If a surface element stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is
not flat enough or is too small for the surface element. Prolonged usage
of incorrect utensils for long periods of time can result in damage to
the surface element, cooktop, wiring and surroundlng areas. To prevent
damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control
down to continue cooking.

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 authorized WhirlpooP
service company.
See the Cooking Guide for additional canning information.
