COOKWARE TIPS

The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems. Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.

•Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten cooking times.

•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections when using glass cookware.

•Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and prevents spillovers from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan than the element is a waste of energy.

•To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency, pan bottoms should be clean and dry before coming in contact with the elements.

•Wipe spills off the elements with a damp cloth as soon as they cool to cut down on clean up time.

Be sure the control is .

If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils could result in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage use correct utensil, start cooking on position HI and turn control down to continue cooking.

Never leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil could

overheat and damage the utensils or surface unit.
Always be sure that all control knobs are turned to	and the indicator lights are	when you are
not cooking.
