Using Your Range

Continued

Until you get used to the set- tings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking.

Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to a boil.

Use MED-HI to hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.

Use MED for gravy, puddings and icing: to cook large amounts of vegetables.

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.

Sliding metal pans on the cooktop surface could leave marks. Metal marks can be removed using a special cook- top polishing creme if they are not heated. Other marks may be perma- nent See page 15 for cleaning and canng suggestions.

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