Cookware Selection
To achieve optimum cooking performance, use cookpots with flat bottoms, tight fitting
covers, and sized for the surface burner.
Size of Cookware
The cooktop is equipped with different sizes of surface burners.
Flame size should be adjusted so it does notextend beyond the edge of thecookware.
This instruction isbased on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the flame tofit
the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
NOTE: Donotallow large cookpots toextendover control knobs. Heattrapped between
largecookpots and control knobcould possibly cause knobs tobecome hot tothe touch.
IMPORTANT: Leave a minimum of 1-1/2" between side of cookpot and surrounding
surfaces,such ascountertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid
possible damage to these areas.
Cookware Materials
• Aluminum cookware heatsevenly andquickly. Aslightly larger flame size can be
used. The flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware.
However, the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the
bottom of the cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. Theflame sizeshould beadjusted to extendonly halfwaybetween center
and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelainon steel, porce-
lain on cast iron, glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.
Covered Cookware
If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed; therefore, a lower flame size can
be used.
NOTE: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed to
maintain a gentle boil is used.
