COOKING WITH YOUR COOKTOP
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Turn off all controls when not cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
Selecting the proper flame size
■High flame - Start food cooking, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
■Medium flame - Maintain a slow boil, fry or sauté, thicken sauces, steam, stew.
■Low flame - Keep food cooking, simmer, keep food warm.
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
Cookware
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well- fitting lid. The material should be medium to heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper cookware may be used but may leave permanent marks on the grates or cooktop. Use the chart below as a guide for cookware material.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area or burner.
The flame size should match the cookware you are using. Watch the flame, not the knob, to adjust the heat. A flame larger than the bottom of the cookware wastes energy and will heat the handle.
Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of burners between batches to allow time for the most recently used area to cool.
■Center the canner on the gate.
■Do not place the canner on 2 burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural department or a company that manufactures home canning products.
