Your surface units and controls are designed to give you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit cooking.

At both OFF and HIGH positions, there is a slight niche so control “clicks” at those positions; “click”

on HIGH marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is between the words LOW and OFF. In a quiet kitchen you may hear slight “clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings always show aquicker change than switching to lower settings.

Q. May I can foods and preserves on my surface units?

A, Yes, but only use utensils designed for canning purposes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and

recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is flat-bottomed and fits over the center of the heating

unit. Since canning generates large amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns from steam or heat. Canning should only be done on surface units.

Q. Why do my utensils tilt when I

place them on the surface unit?

A. Because the surface unit is not flat. Make sure that the “feet” on the heating units are sitting tightly

in the range top indentation and the reflector ring is flat on the

range surface. Also be sure that the utensil has a flat bottom.

Q. Can I use special cooking

equipment like an oriental wok, on

any surface unit.

A. Utensils without fiat surfaces

are not recommended. The life of

your surface unit cart be shortened

and the range top can be damaged

from the high heat needed for this

type of cooking.

Q. Can I cover my reflector pans with foil?

A. Yes, but make sure hole in center is left open.

Q. Why js the porcelain finish on

my containers coming off?

A. If you set your heating unit

higher than required for the container material, and leave it, the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or

burn depending on the pot or pan.

Also, a too high heat for long

periods, and small amounts of dry food, may damage the finish.
