Useproperpansixe—This

appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different 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 heating element to di~ect contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner will also improve efficiency.

@Use cookwareofmediumweight aluminum, withtight-fittingcovers, and flatbottomswhichcompletely coverthe l~eatedportionof the surfaceunit.

@Cook fresh vegetableswith a minimumamountof waterin a coveredpan.

@Watchfoodswhen bringingthem quicuy to cookingtemperaturesat

HIGH heat. When food reaches cookingtemperature, reduce heat immediatelyto lowestsettingthat willkeep it cooking.

@Use residual heat with surface cookingwheneverpossible. For

example, when cookingeggsin the shell, bring waterand eggsto boil, then turn to OFF positionand coverwith lid to completethe cooking.

~Use correct heat for cookingtask: HIGH—to start cooking (iftime

allows,do not use HIGH heat to start).

MEDIUM HI—quickbrowning. MEDIUM—slow frying. LOW—finishcooking most

quantities, simmer—doubleboiler heat, finish tooting, and special for small quantities.

WARM—tomaintain serving temperature of most foods.

e ~hen boiling waterfor tea or

coffee, heat only amount needed. It is not economical to boil a container full of water for one or two cups.
