Surface Cookware Recommendations
Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware
Cookware should have at bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element. Check for atness
by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See
Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will in uence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware Material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the
ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May
leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

element.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Important note:
Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point
of cookware made with these materials may be reached
quickly especially if left empty & they may bond to the
ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the
cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer’s
suggestions when using any type of cookware on the
ceramic cooktop.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable

burner and ame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow
ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
For deep fat frying
surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the
food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too

Important notes:
• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark
if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position).
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
dierent surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
• The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean
cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop surface
burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the
clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display will
show “SPr” for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain
locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning
temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature,
the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the
oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean
cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours).

Setting Surface Controls
Setting the Turbo Boil Flex Twin Burner
The versatile Turbo Boil Flex Twin burner oers a complete
range of gas surface settings from the same burner position.
At the lowest setting, only the burner’s inner ring is active,
providing a smaller ame that is perfect for simmering. If
needed, the burner’s outer ring may be added and when set
for HI will provide a gas ame that may be used to bring a
large pan of liquid to boil quickly.
Operating the Turbo Boil Flex Twin Burner
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn
counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Figure 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the Lite position.
4. Visually check that both the inner and outer rings for
the Twin burner are lit (See Figure 3). Once lit, turn the
control knob and continue to turn counterclockwise out
of the Lite position and adjust to the desired ame size.
5. When adjusting for a low or simmer type ame setting,
continue to rotate the control knob counterclockwise from
MED setting towards LO (See Figure 1). Between the MED
and LO settings, the ame for the outer ring portion of
the burner will turn o leaving only the inner burner with
a ame for simmering (See Figure 4). Make any further
ame adjustments as needed.

Important notes:
• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the
LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark
if the control knob setting remains in the LITE position).
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE
position, all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the
same time. However, only the surface burner you are
setting will ignite.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
dierent surface cooking areas at the same time. This
can cause uneven heating results.
