aluminum is much lower than that of other
metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots
or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to
boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but
it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass
surface, permanently damaging the cooktop
surface.
To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the

broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the
broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is
completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan
is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in
HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after
