Home canning information
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, authorized Whirlpool
service company, or authorized Inglis
Limited Appliance Service company
(in Canada).
To protect your range:
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best
results.
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 one inch

Energy saving tips

Although the energy used for cooking is
usually a very small percentage of the total
energy used in the home, cooking energy
can be used efficiently. Here are some tips
to help you save energy when using your
cooking product:
Use pans with flat bottoms, straight sides,
and tight-fitting lids.
Match the pan to the surface unit size.
Cook with a minimum of liquid or fat to
help shorten cooking time.
Preheat pans only when recommended
and for the shortest time possible.

outside surface unit area. Large diameter
canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap
heat and can cause damage to the
cooktop.
Do not place canner on two surface units
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.
Keep drip bowls clean.
To prolong the life of the elements:
– Prepare small batches at a time.
– Do not use elements for canning
all day.
Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Start food on higher heat settings, then
set surface unit control on LO or OFF to
finish cooking. Use retained heat for
cooking when possible.
Turn on the surface unit only after placing
filled pan on the unit.
Plan your meals for the most efficient use
of the cooktop.
Keep drip bowls clean.
