Cookware tips

There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is best for ail people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the correct cooking utensils for your needs.

l For best resuits and greater energy efficiency. use oniy fiat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. To check the flatness of a utensil:

-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.

-Rotate the ruler in ail directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.

NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with fiat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most houseware stores or departments.

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

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairiy lightweight. Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.

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

l Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

l Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. lt can overheat and may damage the utensil or surface unit.

l Do not use canners, woks and speciaity utensils with rounded, warped, ridged or dented bottoms. These could cause severe overheating which

8 damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

Product Damage Hazard

If a surface unit stays red for a long time,

the bottom of the pan is not fiat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils can resuit in damage to the surface unit, cooktop. wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on Hi and turn control down to continue cooking.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life of regular surface units and cause damage to the cooktop.

lf you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kii (Part No. 242905) from your Roper dealer or authorized Roper service company.

To protect your range:

l Use fiat-bottomed canners/pans for best resuits.

l For best resuits, use the largest surface unit. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area. Large diameter canners/pans, ii not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

lDo not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Excessive heat build-up will damage the cooktop.

l Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

l Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

lTo prolong the life of the elements:

-Prepare small batches at a time.

-Do not use elements for canning ail day.
