IJ

Pans should be the same size or largerthan the surface unit to prevent boil-overs and hot handles.

Only use pans with flat bottoms.

Flat bottoms allow maximum contact between the pans and surface units for fast, even cooking. Pans with un- even bottoms or with a raised pattern on the bottom are not suitable. Flat- ness of a pan can be checked by placing an edge of a ruler across it. There should not be space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

Do not use trivets, woks with skirts, or canners with concave or ridged bottoms.

NOTE: If pan bottoms are not flat, the protective limiter will sense uneven

cooking temperatures and reduce the heat setting. This will result in longer cooking times.

See the Cooking Guide for important utensil information.
