Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should have /,_ flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a

ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1). Be sure to

follow theFigure 1 recommendations for

using cookware as shown to the right.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

CORRECT

W

t t

Flat bottom and straight sides.

•Tight fitting lids.

Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced. Pan sizes match the amount

of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element. Made of material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

Always match pan diameter to element surface diameter.

iNCORRECT

Curved and warped pan bottoms.

÷1 I_

Pan overhangs unit by more than one-half inch.

÷1 I_

Pan is smaller than the element.

Heavy handle tilts the pan.

Using Woks

For ceramic glass cooktop models, use only flat bottomed woks (without support rings).

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends be- yond the surface element. Because this ring traps heat, the surface element and cooktop

surface could be damaged.

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cook- ware bottoms must be in direct contact with the surface cooking areas.

DO NOT use two sur- face cooking areas, if your appliance is not equipped with a bridge element, to heat one large pan such as a roaster or griddle. DO NOT allow cook- ing utensils to boil dry. Either of these situations could damage the glass ce- ramic cooktop.

Using the Griddle

Before first use:

•Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

•Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).

•Preheat your oven to 350°R Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.

•Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

•The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from this seasoning process. If desired,

wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely. After each use:

•To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

•After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

•DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE iN DISHWASHER.

•Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.

Using the Griddle:

Because the g riddle does not lay fiat on the ceramic glass cooktop, it will not work with the Pan Sensing (Sensa Cook) feature.

•Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side bridge element.

•Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.

•DO NOT preheat the griddle on Hi setting. Preheating on Hi may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Always place the griddle on the cooktop before turning on the element.

Always use potholders to remove the griddle from the cooktop. Allow the griddle to cool before removing. Do not set hot griddle on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat such as countertops.

Be sure the griddle is positioned correctly and is stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible burns. 6
