CAUTION

The tempered glass, porcelain and stainless steel

used for your cooktop is heat resistant; however,

the use of improper utensils can possibly damage

it. Large or warped utensils or utensils that span

two burners, trap heat against the cooktop. The

trapped heat _oes into the cooktop and overheats

the _lass which through repeated use of could

eventually cause the glass to break; the porcelain

top could craze (fine hairlike lines) or the steel top could show heat discoloration.

HIXLO

Medium

All the controls have an infinite number of heat settings, with no fixed positions between HI, LO or XLO. The word (Medium) and number designations are for ref- erence only and are guides to the flame settings referenced in the following chart.

The Flame Setting Chart, on Pages 17 and 18,is tobe used as a guide.

Your pans and your manner of

cooking may need a different set-

ting than what is suggested. All

flame settings were determined

using a variety of good quality,

flat bottom pans with lids (un-

less the method of cooking did

not require a covered pan). The

flame was matched to the size of

the pan and the method of cook-

ing: simmering, frying, braising, etc.

Guidelines:

. The actual flame setting used to cook is selected from the

range of flame settings given. Whether the higher or lower setting is selected depend s on the quality of the pan, the amount of food, and the BTU/ HR rating of the burner used,

How to Use the Chart

The chart is divided into two sec- tions: the food and the flame set-

tings. The flame settings section

shows an initial Start Cooking

setting, a second Continue Cook- ing setting and / or an ExtraLow TM Heat setting. There may or may

not be a change between the two Start Cooking and the Continue

Cooking settings depending on

the food prepared. The ExtraLow TM Heat (see pages 17-

18)setting can be either a cook-

ing, or a holding setting.

. Raise or lower the flame set- ting gradually. Allow time for the pan and food to adjust to the new setting. Changes are

more satisfactory when the increased or decreased setting

is only one or two markings on the control.
