NOTE: The surface elements may smoke 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 r&&s, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

SE‘lTlNG RECOMMENDED USE

HI *To start foods cooking. *To bring liquids to a boil.

Medium-higt I *To hold a rapid boil.

*To fry chicken or pancakes

Medium l For gravy, pudding and (opposite OFF) icing.

l To cook large amounts of vegetables.

Medium-low *To keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.

LO l To keep food warm until ready to serve.

Using the ceramic glass cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooklop is almost the same as cooking on coil surface units. There are, however, a few differences: 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-

ture setting you have selected.

l Sliding metal pans on ceramic glass cooklop surface could leave marks. Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and provide the mosl even heating. See pages 20 and 21 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 emply utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit.

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