Bum And Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooking.

Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.

Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings, then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Use a high setting to start food cooking to bring liquids to a boil.

Use a medium-high setting to hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.

Use a medium setting for gravy, pudding and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables.

Use a medium-low setting to keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.

Use a low setting to keep food warm until ready to serve. Set the heat higher or lower within the low band to keep food at the temperature you want.

Cookware

Pans should be the same size or larger than the surface unit to prevent boil- overs and hot handles.

For best results, use flat-bottomed utensils. Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with uneven bottoms or with raised patterns on the bottoms are not suitable. Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.

To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom of each piece. Rotate the straight-edge across the bottom. If light shows anywhere between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.

Bum And Product Damage Hazard

. If the pan is too small for the surface unit, you could be burned by the heat from the exposed section of the surface unit. Use correctly sized cooking utensils to prevent injury.

. If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils for long periods of time can result in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on high setting and turn control down to continue cooking.
