 COOKWARE TIPS
The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems.
Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.
• Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten cooking
times.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections when using
glass cookware.
• Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and
prevents spillovers from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan than the
element is a waste of energy.
• To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry before
coming in contact with the elements.
• Wipe spills off the elements with a damp cloth as soon as they cool to cut down on clean up time.
Be sure the control is .
If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for
the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils could result in damage to the surface unit,
cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage use correct utensil, start cooking on
position HI and turn control down to continue cooking.
Never leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil could
overheat and damage the utensils or surface unit.
Always be sure that all control knobs are turned to
and the indicator lights are when you are
not cooking.
