Questions and Answers

Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil?

A. No. Clean as recommended in the Care and Cleaning section.

Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental wok, on any surface units?

A. Cookware without flat surfaces is not recommended. The life of the module surface units can be shortened and the cooktop can be damaged from the high heat needed for this type of cooking. A special flat-bottomed wok can be used safely.

Q. Why am I not getting the heat I need from my surface units even though I have the controls on the correct setting?

A. After turning the surface units off and making sure they are cool, check to make sure that the plug-in units are securely plugged in.

Q. Why does my cookware tilt when I place it on the surface unit?

A. Because the surface unit is not flat. Make sure the feet of the surface units are sitting on the inside rim of the drip pan and the drip pan is flat on the cooktop surface.

Q. Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware coming off?

A. If you set the surface unit coil higher than required for the cookware material and leave it, the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the pot or pan.

Also, if you set the surface unit coil higher than required for a long period of time, with small amounts of dry food, you can damage the finish.

Q. May I can foods and preserves on my coil surface units?

A. Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning purposes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is flat- bottomed and fits over the center of the coil surface unit. Since canning generates large amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns from steam or heat.
