Kenmore 790.7892 Double Oven User Manual


 
Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating burner.
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.
CORRECT
* Flat bottom and straight sides.
° Tight fitting lids.
° Weight of handle does not flit
pan. Pan is well balanced.
° Pan sizes match the amount of
food to be prepared.
° Made of material that con-
ducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
INCORRECT
° Curved and warped pan bottoms.
IL......
° Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1").
° Heavy handle tilts pan.
° Flame extends beyond pan.
Figure 2
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
Woks with flat bottoms suit-
able 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 burn-
er circumference) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed
to support the wok safely when it
is filled with large amounts of liq-
uids (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 is equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the burner
circumference. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface could
be damaged.
