Jenn-Air SCE30600 manual

•Do not usecookwarethat extendsmorethan 1inchbeyondthe edgeofthe element.

•Do not useasmall cookpotona large element. Notonly can this causethe element to require more energyand time, but it can also result inspilloversburning ontothe elementwhich cause extra effort in cleaning.

•Do not use nonflat specialty items that are oversized,uneven or do not meet propercookware specificationssuch as round bottom woks with rings, griddles, rippledbottom canners,lobsterpots,largepressurecanners, etc. For wokcooking, use Jenn-Air flat bottom wok (Model AO142). (See p. 12.)

Acceptablecanning pots should not be oversizedand must have a flat bottom. When canners do not meet these standards,the use of the Hi heat setting becomes exces- sive and may result in damage to the cooktop. In addition, water may not come to a boil and canners may not reach 10 lb. of pressure.

The acceptable canning procedure uses the Hi setting just long enough to bring the water to a boil, then lower the setting to maintainthe water temperature.

Heavy gauge cookpots with flat, smooth bottoms will usually work in a similar way. However,there are somedifferencesin the cooking performanceof various materials.

•Aluminum cookpotsheat quickly and evenly. Best suited for simmering, braising, boiling and frying.

•Stainless steel cookpots will evenly distribute heat if constructed of tri-ply or combined with other metals such as aluminum and copper. Use for cooking functionssimilar to aluminum.

•Cast iron cookpots are slow to heat but cook more evenly once temperature is reached. Use for long term low heat cooking or for browning and frying.

•Glass ceramic, earthenware,heat-proof glass or glazed coekpotscan be used if recommendedby the manufacturerfor cookpot cooking. Do not use with trivets. Best used on low to mediumcontrol settings.

•Porcelain enamel-on-steel or porcelain enamel-on-cast iron should be used accordingto manufacturer'sdirections. Do not allow to boil dry.
