Whirlpool RC8330XT Cooktop User Manual


 
Using Your Cooktop
Using the surface units
Control knobs must be pushed in before
turning them to a setting. They can be set
anywhere between HI and OFF.
Surface unit indicator light
One of the surface unit indicator lights on the
control panel will glow when a surface unit is on.
Burn and Fire Hazard
Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF
and the indicator lights are OFF when you
are not cooking. Someone could be burned
or a fire could star-f if a surface unit is
accidentally left ON.
Until you get used to the settings, use the
following as a guide. For best results, start
cooking at the high settings; then turn the control
knob down to continue cooking.
Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to
a boil. When cooking foods, turn to LO or MED-
LO when sizzle starts.
Use MED-HI to hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken
or pancakes. Turn to LO or MED-LO when sizzle
starts.
Use MED for gravy, puddings and icing; to
cook large amounts of vegetables. Turn to LO to
finish cooking.
Use MED-LO to keep food cooking after
starting it on a higher setting.
Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve.
Solid elements stay hot for a long time. Do
not use the HI setting for long periods of
time or leave pans on hot elements when
cooking is done. Burned food and damage
to the cookware could result.
