Use only flat-bottomed utensils for best cooking results and to prevent damage
to the cooktop. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged
bottom canners or tea kettles) are not recommended.
Burn and Product Damage Hazard
l
If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by the
heat from the exposed section of the surface unit. Use correctly sized
cooking utensils to prevent injury.
l
If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat
enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect
utensils for long periods of time can result in damage to the surface unit,
cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct
utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control down to continue cooking.
See the Cooking Guide for additional utensil information.
Optional 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 authorized WhirlpoolSM
service company.
See the Cooking Guide for additional canning information.
