HOW DOES THISCOOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop may have one of several types of cooking surface units. You will notice some differences when you use each one.

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 your new cooktop and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

How it Works

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than halogenhadiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking long after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

gas burners use either LP gas or natural gas.

Heats by direct contact with the pti, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be weli baianced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
