Using Your Cooktop

Continued

Use MED-LO to keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting.

Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve. Set the heat higher or lower within the LO band to keep food at the temperature you want.

NOTE: The surface unit will glow red when it is turned on. You will see the element cycling on (glowing red) and off to maintain the proper temperature setting you have selected.

Cookware

Use only flat-bottomed utensils on the cooktop. Pans without flat bottoms and specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks or tea kettles) will cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

To check your cookware for flatness, place a straight-edge across the bottom of each piece. Move the straight-edge around. If light shows anywhere between the pan and the straight-edge, the pan is not flat. Do not use it.

Utensil bottoms must be clean and free from nicks and scratches. Heating a soiled pan can leave a stain on the cooktop and cause scratches.

Using a pan with a nicked or scratched bottom could damage the cooktop.

Sliding metal pans on the cooktop surface could leave marks. Metal marks can be removed using a special cooktop polishing creme if they are not heated. Other marks may be perma- nent. See pages 7 and 8 for cleaning and caring suggestions.

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and provide the most even heating.
