Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating element.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the
Figure 1
cookware (See Figure
1). Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Using a wok (not supplied)
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use
on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner unit)
may also be used. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when
it is filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates,
DO NOT use a wok if it isequipped with
a metal ring that extends beyond the
burner unit. Because this ring traps
heat, the surface unit and cooktop
surface could be damaged.

Using a Griddle
(not supplied, but available for purchase)
The griddle is intended for direct food
cooking and can be used on both sides
(Figures 4 and 5). Do not use pans or other
cookware on the griddle. Doing so could
damage the finish. With the grate in position
over the burner, set the griddle on top of the
grate positioning the notches in the griddle
over the grate fingers(Figures 3 and 4).

Always place the griddle on the grate before to turn on the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the griddle from the grate. Allow the griddleto cool before removing. Do
not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the griddle ispositioned correctly and stable before useto prevent hot spills and possible burns.
