Using Your Range

To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your range properly. This section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your range.

Using the surface units

Fire Hazard

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

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

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 severe overheating, which damages the cookware and/or surface unit.

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.
