BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side down
and align them into the cooktop recess.. The grates
have tabs that interlock, so it is important to place the
center grate fi rst.
IMPORTANT
• Make sure the burner grates are properly placed
on the cooktop before using the surface burners
(Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside
the recess on the cooktop.
• Grates should rest fl ush against each other and
against the sides of the recess.
• Do not line the area underneath the grates or
any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or
with any other lining.Th
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. Some types
of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining and pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors
easily (see Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists
staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking tem-
perature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteris-
tics will vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.
IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porce-
lain-enamel coated cookware on the element. The
melting point of cookware made with these materials
may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the
cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow
all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations
for use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
diff erent surface cooking areas at the same time.
Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.
