SURFACE COOKING Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1). Cookware Material types The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: ALUMINUM- Excellent heat conductor.
SURFACE COOKING Specialty Pans & Trivets Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the heating element) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models) The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Element ON (all models) Your appliance is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on the backguard- the Element On indicator light and the hot surface indicator lights. The element ON indicator lights are located on the control panel (Figure 1) between the two radiant element control knob and will glow when a surface element is turned ON.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Surface cooking settings (All models) Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing. Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Recommended Setting for Surface Element Setting Type of Cooking HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil and pan broiling. MEDIUM HIGH (7-8) Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat frying.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location On model A, the oven is vented through the right rear coil element (Figure 1) and on models B & C, the oven vent is located through the upper front trim and visible when the oven door is open (Figure 2).When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent. Doing so may cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.
