Cookware Selection

To achieve optimum cooking performance, use cookpots with flat bottoms, tight fitting covers, and sized for the surface burner.

Size of Cookware

The cooktop is equipped with different sizes of surface burners.

Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the flame to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.

NOTE: Donot allow large cookpots to extendover control knobs. Heattrapped between largecookpots and control knob could possibly cause knobs to become hot to the touch.

IMPORTANT: Leave a minimum of 1-1/2" between side of cookpot and surrounding surfaces, such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible damage to these areas.

Cookware Materials

•Aluminum cookware heatsevenly andquickly. Aslightly larger flame size can be used. The flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware.

However, the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the cookware.

•Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly quickly. Theflame sizeshould beadjusted to extendonly halfway between center and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.

•Cast iron cookware heats slowly.

•Check manufacturer'srecommendations before using porcelain on steel, porce- lain on cast iron, glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.

Covered Cookware

If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed; therefore, a lower flame size can be used.

NOTE: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed to maintain a gentle boil is used.
