Cookware tips
The physical characteristics of pots and pans influence the performance of any cooking systems.
Therefore, emphasis must be placed on the importance of using proper cookware.
V Use cooking vessels with flat bottoms and tight fitting lids to conserve energy and shorten
cooking times.
2- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop. Manufacturers suggest using low to medium heat selections when
using glass cookware.
3- Pan size should match the element size. A slightly larger pan covers the entire element and
prevents spillovers from contacting the heat surface and burning in. Using a smaller pan
than the element is a waste of energy.
4- To avoid spattering and to maximize efficiency,’ pan bottoms should be clean and dry
before coming in contact with the elements.
5- Wipe spills off the elements with a damp cloth as soon as they cool to cut down on clean
up time. Be sure the control is off.
If a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for
the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils could result in damage to the surface unit,
cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage use correct utensil, start cooking on HI
and turn control down to continue cooking.
Never leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The utensil could
overheat and damage the utensil or surface unit.

are not cooking.
