Condition |
|
| |
INCORRECT | CORRECT | ||
The cookware used with the Induction | |||
|
| ||
Cooktop should have flat bottoms that |
|
| |
make good contact with the entire surface |
|
| |
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by |
|
| |
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the |
|
| |
cookware (See Fig. 21). Be sure to follow |
|
| |
all the recommendations for using |
|
| |
cookware as shown in Fig. 20. |
|
| |
Also remember to:
• Use cookware made with the correct material type for Induction Cooking (See Fig. 18).
•Use quality cookware with heavier
bottoms for better heat distribution |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
allowing for more even cooking results. |
