Q.

withfoil?

A. No. Clean as recommended in

CleaningGuide.

Q. Can I use specialcooking
equipment, like an orientalwok,
on any smface unit?

A. Cookware withoutflat surfaces

is not recommended. The life of
the surface units can be shortened
and the range top can be damaged
from the high heat needed for this
type of cooking.

Q. Why

A. After turning surfaceunits off

and making sure they are cool,
check to make sure that your plug­in units are securely fastened into
the surface connection.

Q.‘Wy dm mycookwaretit

A. Because the surfaceunit or the

cookwareis notflat. Make sure
that the “feet” on your surface
units are sittingtightlyin the range
top indentationandthe drip pan is
flat on the range surface.

Q. ‘Whyis the

A. If you set your surface unit

higher than required for the
cookware material,and let the
cookware sit too long,the
cookware’sfinishmay smoke,
