Whirlpool Roper FEP310KV3 Benutzerhandbuch

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. 
Push in and turn to setting. On some models, the surface cooking 
area locator shows which element is turned on. Use the following 
chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

NOTE: On self-cleaning models, the cooktop will not operate 
when the range is in a self-cleaning mode.

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner 
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also 
help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the coil 
element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce 
excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more 
information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner 
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the 
Off position.

1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then 

lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.

2. Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3. Lift out the burner bowl.

1. Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element 

receptacle.

2. Holding the coil element as level as possible, slowly push the 

coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it 

will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the 
receptacle.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface 
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. 
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■

Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking 
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not 
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking 
area or element.

■

Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or 
surface burners at the same time.

■

On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

■

On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit 
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil 
element will be shortened. See “Assistance or Service” for 
ordering instructions.

■

For more information, contact your local agricultural 
department. Companies that manufacture home canning 
products can also offer assistance.
