Before Setting Surface Controls

About the surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the surface element just before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The surface element may still be hot and burns may occur if the surface element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do not place aluminum toll or ANY material that could melt on the surface elements.

Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place -- Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the surface element power level setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the

recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in both Figs. 1 &2.

Fig. 1

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2).
