HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has electric coil surface units or a radiant glass cooktop. If you are used to cooking with gas burners or other types of electric cooktops, you will notice some differences when you use electric coils or a radiant glass cooktop.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the differences between electric coil surface units and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Gas Burners
