Your range top is designed to give you the flexibility of boiling, steaming, sauteing, browning, frying, canning, or pressure cooking, The heat is trans- ferred from a heating element below the surface, through the ceramic top, to the bottom of the

cooking utensil. This, in turn, heats the food. As it heats, the cooking surface turns yellow. When the control is turned to OFF, the cooking area cools and returns to its original white color.

Step 1: Push in control knob.

@Pots and pans should be flat on the bottom and match the size of the sunburst pattern. Large con- tainers should be on large areas and small ones on small areas.

@It is important pans fit the areas you are using, A pan smaller than the heated area wastes power. A frying pan or skiliet much larger than the heated area may not heat evenly.

o Center pots and pans on a cook- ing area which closely matches the bottom of the utensil in size.

0 Containers of various materials may require different heat settings and/or cooking time. Check the manufacturer’s instruction before using.

@Special cooking equipment with- out flat bottoms, such as the oriental wok, are not recommended and could shorten the life of the range top since high temperatures are required in this type of cooking.
