Cookware tips
l
Select a pan
that is about the same size
as the surface unit.
l
NOTE: For best results and greater
energy efficiency,
use only flat-bottomed
cookware that makes good contact with
the surface units. Cookware with rounded,
warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain
enamelware) or dented bottoms could
cause severe overheating, which damages
the cookware and/or surface unit.
You can, however, use newer cookware
with slightly indented bottoms or very small
expansion channels. Thii cookware is
specially designed to provide the good
contact needed for best cooking results.
Also, woks, canners and teakettles with
flat bottoms suitable for use on your
cooktop are now available in most stores
that sell housewares.
l
The pan
should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
l
Choose medium to heavy gauge
(thick-
ness) pans that are fairty lightweight.
l
The pan material
(metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
unit through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cocking
resutts.
Product Damage Hazard
l
if a surface unit stays red for a tong
time, the bottom of the pan is not flat
enough or is too small for the surface
unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect
utensils for long perk& of time could
result in damage to the surface unit,
cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas.
To prevent damage, use correct
utensils, start cooking on Hi and turn
control down to continue cooking.
l
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on
a hot surface
unit. The utensil could overheat and
could damage the utensil or surface
unit.
Home canning information
To protect your range:
l
Use fiat-bottomed canners/pans
for best
results.
l
Use the largest surface unit for
best
results. Also, use a canner/pan which can
be centered over the surface unit and
which does not extend more than one inch
outside surface unit area. Large diameter
canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap
heat and can cause damage to the
cooktop.
l
Do not place canner on
two surface units
at the same time. Too much heat will build
up and will damage the cooktop.
l
Start with hot water.
This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce heat
setting to lowest position needed to keep
water boiling.
l
Keep reflector bowls clean
for best heat
reflection.
l
To prolong the life of the elements:
- Prepare small batches
at a time.
- Do not use elements
for canning ail day.
