Cooking Procedures
• BEFORE FIRST USE. CLEAN COOKTOP CARTRIDGE (See p.7)
• For best results, always use recommended cookware.
• Differentcookpotsanddifferentamounts offoodbeingpreparedwill influencethe
controlsettings neededforbest results. (Seecooktopor range use&care manual
fortypical control settings.) Forfastest cooking, start with the surface control on
Hi for one minute; then turn the control to the lower desired setting. Covering
pans, whenever possible, speeds cooking and is more energy efficient.
• Theglassceramiccookingarearetainsheatfora periodoftime aftertheelements
have been turned off. Put this retained heat to good use. Turnthe elements off
a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to
completethecooking. Because ofthis heat retentioncharacteristic, theelements
will not respond to changes in heat settings as quickly as coil elements. Inthe
event of a potential boil over, remove the cookpot from the cooking area.
• When preparing foods which can be easily scorched or over-cooked, start
cooking at a lower temperature setting and gradually increase temperature as
needed.
• A higher settingthan normal may be necessary when usingcookpots madewith
material that is slow to conduct heat, such as cast iron.
• Alowersettingcan beusedwhen cooking small quantitiesoffoods orwhenusing
a cookpot that conducts heat quickly.
IMPORTANT
• Donotusewire trivets,fire rings, padsorany such itembetween thecookware
and the element.
• Do not cook foods directly on cooktop.
• Do not allow pan to boil dry as this could damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not slide heavy metal or glass cookpots across surface since these may
scratch the surface.
• Do not use or place plastic items anywhere on cooktop.
• Do not use cartridge in the event a break has occurred. Call an authorized
Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
