Q. May Ican foods and preserves
on my surface units?
A, Yes, but only use utensils de-
signed for canning purposes.Check
the manufacturer’s instructions and
recipes for preserving foods. Be
sure canner is flat-bottomed and
fits over the center of the heating
unit. Since canning generates large
amounts of steam, be careful to
avoid burns from steam or heat.
Canning should only be done on
surface units.
Q. Why do my utensils tilt when I
place them on the surface unit?
A. Because the surface unit is not
flat. Make sure that the “feet” on
the heating units are sitting tightly
in the range top indentation and
the reflector ring is flat on the
range surface. Also be sure that
the utensil has aflat bottom.
Q. Can Iuse special cooking
equipment like an oriental wok, on
any surface unit.
A. Utensils without fiat surfaces
are not recommended. The life of
your surface unit cart beshortened
and the range top can bedamaged
from the high heat needed for this
type of cooking.
Q. Can Icover my reflector pans
with foil?
A. Yes, but make sure hole in
center is left open.
Q. Why js the porcelain finish on
my containers coming off?
A. If you set your heating unit
higher than required for the con-
tainer material, and leave it, the
finish may smoke, crack, pop, or
burn depending on the pot or pan.
Also, atoo high heat for long
periods, and small amounts of dry
food, may damage the finish.
