HOW DOES ~S COOKTOP COmm

TO YOm OLD Om?

Your new modular cooktop may have several types of rooking sbw units. You til noti~ some differenms when you use each one.

me best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surfa= unit you are using.

me following chart wfll help you to understand the differences among the various cooking surface units and how they differ from others you may have used in the past.

Cam of the Modules

Some of the moddes must be cured or preconditioned before using them for the first time.

Modules and accessories shotid be cleaned after each use. me longer a soil remains, the harder it is to clean. See each modtie section in this guide for specific imtructions. Never immerse any module in water.

men not in the cooktop, modules and accessories should be stored in a clea~ dry place. &ways be careful not to drop the moddes or they could be damaged.

Using the Electfic Sutiace Unit Modules

You must consider heat up and cool down times for the electric surface uniti when determining cooking times. Heat up and cool down times depend on initial temperature settings, the type of cookware used and the amount of food being cooked.

Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the sufia~

 

unit faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish

 

cooking. Remember, cooking continues after the

surface unit is turned off.
