NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.

Burner heat settings
Use the following chart as a guide. Fire Hazard Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan. Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. SETTING LITE HI MED HI MED RECOMMENDED USE � To light the burner. � To start food cooking. � To bring liquid to a boil. � To hold a rapid boil. � To quickly brown or sear food. � To maintain a slow boil. � To fry poultry or meat. � To make pudding, sauce or gravy. � To stew or steam food. � To simmer food. � To keep food warm. � To melt chocolate or butter.

Using the control knobs
� Push in the control knob and turn it to the LITE
position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Visually check that the burner has lit. � After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired setting. You can set the control knob anywhere between the high and low settings. NOTES: � The ignitors may click a number of times before the burner lights. This is normal. � All five burner ignitors will spark no matter which burner you are using. � Check the burner to see if it has lit. If the burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If you do not hear the ignitor click, turn the burner off. Check that the service cord is placed firmly in the wall receptacle. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. Check that the control knob is pressed completely down on the valve shaft. If the spark ignitor still fails to operate, call your nearest authorized Whirlpool servicer. Proper grounding is necessary for the electrical system to work correctly. A qualified electrician should check the wall receptacle to see if it is grounded correctly.
