Cookware
Right
Wrong
Not over 1 inch Over I inch
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medi-
um heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not
combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the trim ring more than 1 inch.
Always read and follow cookware manufacturer's
instructions on cookware use.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frozen or icy foods cause vigor-
ous bubbling and spattering. Watch food frying at high
temperatures. Keep the cooktop and hood clean from
grease.
Wok Cooking

have support rings.
Use of these types of
woks, with or without
the ring in place can

Placing the ring over the surface unit wilt cause a
build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cook-
top. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Questions and Answers
Qw
A.
Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil?
A, No. Clean as recommended in the Care and clean-
ing section.
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an
oriental wok, on any surface units?
A. Cookware without flat surfaces is not recommend-
ed. The life of your surface unit can be shortened
and the cooktop can be damaged from the high
heat needed for this type of cooking. A special flat
bottom wok can be used safely.
Q. Why am i not getting the heat 1 need from my
units even though t have the knobs on the
right setting?
A. After turning the surface unit off and making sure it
is cool, check to make sure that your plug-in units
are securely plugged in.
Why does my cookware tilt when I place it on
the surface unit?
Q.
A.
Because the surface unit is not flat. Make sure the
feet of your surface units are sitting on the inside
rim of the drip pan and the drip pan is flat on the
cooktop surface.
Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware
coming off?
If you set your surface unit coil higher than required
for the cookware materiai and leave it, the finish
may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the
pot or pan.
Also, if you set the surface unit coil higher than
required for a long period of time, with small
amounts of dry food, you can damage the finish.
