BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the
heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure
to follow the recommendations for using proper cook-
ware as illustrated in “Figure 3: Testing cookware” and
“Figure 4: Proper cookware”.
Figure 3: Testing cookware
Check for fl atness by
rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see “Figure 3: Testing
cookware”). Cookware
should have fl at bottoms
that make good contact
with the entire surface of
the heating element.
• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced
.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
element by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is much smaller
than the element.
Figure 4: Proper cookware
CAUTION
• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or
any other material to enter the gas orifi ce holder
opening.
• Always keep the burner caps and burner heads
in place whenever the surface burners are in use.
• Never place fl ammable items on the cooktop.
Once in place, you may check the fi t by gently sliding
the burner cap from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure
it is centered and fi rmly seated. When the burner cap
lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head
you will be able to hear the burner cap click
Figure 5: Gently move cap for proper placement
IMPORTANT
Please note that the burner cap should not move off
the center of the burner head when sliding from side
to side.
• Check and be sure that all oval-style burner caps
(some models) are correctly in place on oval
burner heads.
• Do not use the surface burners without the burner
caps properly installed. Improperly seated burner
caps may prevent burners from lighting or cause
uneven fl ame and heating.
• Missing pieces or improper installation may lead
to spills, burns, or damage to your range and
cookware.
• Never place fl ammable items on the cooktop.
