NOTE: The

surface elements may

smoke

l

slightly and emit a burning odor during the

 

first few hours of use. This is normal. It is

 

caused by the insulation material of the new

 

ceramic cooktop elements and will not occur

 

again.

 

 

 

Until you get used to the settings, use the

 

following as a guide. For best results, start

 

cooking at the high setting; then turn the

 

control knob down to continue cooking.

l

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is

 

almost the same as cooking on coil surface

 

units.

There

are, however,

a few differences:

l

l The surface unit will glow red when it is

 

turned on. You will see the element cycling

 

on (glowing red) and off - even on HIGH

 

setting -to maintain the proper tempera-

l

l Sliding metal pans on ceramic glass

 

cooktop surface could leave marks. Wiping

l

off the cooktop before and after each use

 

will

help

keep the surface

free from stains

l

and provide the most even heating. See pages 37 and 38 for care and cleaning suggestions.

Cookware tips

l Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.

NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that makes good contact with the surface units. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain enamelware) or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

You can, however, use the newer cookware available with slightly indented bottoms or very small expansion channels. This cookware is specially designed to provide the good contact needed for best cooking results.

Also, woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most stores that sell housewares.

The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Handles should be made of sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely at- tached to the pan.

With your hand, feel the bottom of your pans while they are cool for nicks and scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass cooktop.

Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and dry before using on cooktop.

Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans with tall sides.

Do not cook food directly on cooktop.

Product Damage Hazard

Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.

The utensil could overheat and could damage the utensil or surface unit.
