FEATURE OVERVIEW ^
• Using the Proper Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms
that make good contact with the entire
surface heating element. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (See Fig.1).
Be sure to follow ail the
y
recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Fig. 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface
control accordingly, if the fat is too cool, the food will absorb
the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will
brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not
attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
wiii neither brown nor cook properly.

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in two ways:
• In the upward position {Fig. 3) to allow low profile food items to be placed
both under and on top of the rack {for example, roils or biscuits on top of the
rack and a casserole dish underneath).
• In the downward position {Fig. 4) to allow you to place light weight food
items and empty dishware {for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates)
on the rack.
