SURFACE UNITS

Surface units too hot or not hot enough.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy-and medium- weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.	Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
	Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after spillover.
	Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much as
	possible from direct exposure to salt air.

Drip bowls turning color or dis- torted out of shape

Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your dealer.

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP (some models)

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.

Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See “Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning” in the General Cleaning section.

Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

Metal marks.	Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on
	cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See
	“Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning” in the General Cleaning section.
Brown streaks or specks.	Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See “Ceramic-
	Glass Cooktop Cleaning” in the General Cleaning section.

Areas of discoloration with metal- lic sheen.

Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
