Pans should be the same size or
largerthan the surface unit to prevent
boil-overs and hot handles.
Only use pans with flat bottoms.
Flat bottoms allow maximum contact
between the pans and surface units
for fast, even cooking. Pans with un-
even bottoms or with a raised pattern
on the bottom are not suitable. Flat-
ness of a pan can be checked by
placing an edge of a ruler across it.
There should not be space between
the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged
bottoms.
NOTE: If pan bottoms are not flat, the protective limiter will sense uneven
cooking temperatures and reduce the heat setting. This will result in longer
cooking times.
See the Cooking Guide for important utensil information.
