Using the cooktop
Cookware
WARNING
• Cookware with rough bottoms can cause permanent damage to the coated surfaces.
• To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles to a position where they cannot
be easily hit. Also, handles should not extend over adjacent burners. Always set utensils
gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well-balanced.
• Do not drag cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish. Lift utensils to
reposition them. Do not drop them on the grate.
• To avoid burns or fire hazard, reduce the flame level if it extends beyond the bottom
of the utensil. A flame that extends up the sides of the utensil is potentially dangerous.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop nor the front of the range. Hot air from the
vent can melt or ignite plastic items or cause a building up of dangerous pressure in
closed plastic containers.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.
For overall safety and best performance, select the correct cooking utensil for the food
being cooked. Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
• Has flat, smooth bottoms and is well balanced
• Has tight fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan.
