Using Your Cooktop
Continued
Use MED-LO to keep food cooking
after starting it on a higher setting.
Use LO to keep food warm until
ready to serve. Set the heat higher or
lower within the LO band to keep food
at the temperature you want.
NOTE: The surface unit will glow red
when it is turned on. You will see the
element cycling on (glowing red) and off
to maintain the proper temperature
setting you have selected.
Cookware
Use only flat-bottomed utensils on the
cooktop. Pans without flat bottoms and
specialty items with rounded or ridged
bottoms (woks or tea kettles) will cause
uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
To check your cookware for flatness,
place a straight-edge across the bottom
of each piece. Move the straight-edge
around. If light shows anywhere
between the pan and the straight-edge,
the pan is not flat. Do not use it.
Utensil bottoms must be clean and
free from nicks and scratches. Heating
a soiled pan can leave a stain on the
cooktop and cause scratches.
Using a pan with a nicked or
scratched bottom could damage
the cooktop.
Sliding metal pans on the cooktop
surface could leave marks. Metal marks
can be removed using a special
cooktop polishing creme if they are not
heated. Other marks may be perma-
nent. See pages 7 and 8 for cleaning
and caring suggestions.
Wiping off the cooktop before and
after each use will help keep the
surface free from stains and provide the
most even heating.
