SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

Never leme dte surface units nnatmnded

at higtl heat settings. Boiloxers canse smoking
and g_easy spilloxers that m W camh on fire.

Do not use almnimm] foil to line rite drip

pans or an>vhere in the o_en except as
described in this manual. Misuse could

result in a shock, fire hazard or damag> to
tile range.

Be sure rite drip pans and tile xent duct
are ,lot co\ered and are in place. Their

absence during cooking could damag>
rang> parts and wiring.

Only certain types of glass, glassA:eramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden chang> in
temperatm-e.

To minimize the possibili)' of bums, ig_ifion
of flammable materials and spillage, tile

handle of a container should be turned

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS(cont.)

Do ,lot immerse or soak tile remoxable
surPace units. Do *lot put them in a

When preparing flaming foods under

tile hood, turn tile fan on.
To ax_id tile possibility of a bun_ or

elecuic shock, always be certain tilat the
controls for all surface units are at tile

OFFposition and all coils are cool before
atmmpdng to lift or remove a unit.

Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
spong.e is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, he carefld to ax_id smam bums.

Kee I) an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium higil heat setting:s.

Foods for fiTing should be as dry as
possible. Frost on fiozen foods or moisture

on fresh foods can cause hot l_atto bubble
up and ox.er tile sides of tile pan.

Use little fi_t for eflOcdx,e shallow or deep
t_tt fiying. Filling the pan too fltll of fat can
cause spillox.ers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fi_ts will be used
in flying, stir tog.ether before heating, or as

Pats melt slowly.

Always heat l_atslowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep l_attilellnomemr whenever

_kdtllllilltllll cookware conducts heat tipster

than other metals. Cast-iron and coamd

cast-iron cookware are slow to _lbsorb

heat but generall_ cook exenl_ at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may

cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be
fiat on the bottom. Match the size of the

saucei)an to the size of the stu]i_ce unit.
The pan should not extend over the

edge ot the stu_hce unit more than 1".

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking

Werecommendthat youuseonly a flat-bottomed

wok. Theyareavailableatyour localretail store.

Do not use wo!<_that have support rings.
Placing the ring o'_er the surli_ce unit will

cause a buildu I) of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop.

Home CanningTips

Aluminum Foil

Nevercover the ovenbottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line tile
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

vou must mold tile foil tightly to tile grid
and cut slits in itjust like the grid.

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in tile oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one

pan, place tile pans so each has at least

1 to 1½" of air space aro/md it. If baking

Ibm" cake layers at the same time, place

two laye_ on rack B and two lave_ on
rock D. Stagger pans on the rack so one

is not directly above tile other

_Mmninmn frill may also be used to catch
a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet

of foil on a lower shelf several inches

below tile food.

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminmn t0il. This will distm'b the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.
