o Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat.
Turn the dement off a few minutes
before food is completely cooked and
use the retained heat to complete the
cooking.

teristics, the dements will not respond
to changesin settingsasquickly ascoii
dements. #nthe event ore potential
boilover, remove the pan _rom the
cooking area.
To achieveoptimum cooking performance,
use heavy-gauge,fiat, smooth bottom pans
that conform to the diameter of the cook-
ingarea. ( See_CooRing Made Simple _t
