Before Setting Surface Controls
Double Ring Style Burners
The Double Ring burner only operates properly with two burner
caps in place. Be sure the burner cap lips are positioned facing
down towards the burner head (Figure 9) and into the recessed
areas (Figure 10) on each side of the burner head. Be sure both
burner caps are seated firmly and rest level on the burner head
before operating (Figure 11).
Check the fit for each cap using the same method for the round
burner caps by gently sliding each cap from side to side. Please
note that the burner cap lips should not move out of recessed
areas of the burner head.

Using Proper Cookware
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Important:
Do not place aluminum foil, or any material that can melt on the
range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the
cooktop.
Important:
The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of
food being cooked will influence the burner flame setting
needed for best cooking results.
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. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary
depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.

For best cooking results, cook-
ware should have flat bottoms
that rest level on the surface
burner grate. Before using
cookware, check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bot-
tom of the cookware (See
Figure 12).
