Burner & Downdraft Features
Your Caldera Dial 2000 Series Cooktop features Radiant Ribbon Burners. The 44 settings provided by
the detailed control allow the user to find the perfect temperature setting.
WARNING
: Your CALDERA
cooktop will have more power than you are accustomed to. In the beginning please be watchful of your
control settings. The burners will heat to full power within 4 seconds. They will glow red only on the
highest settings. Remember to use a burner that complements your cooking utensil. The Caldera units
include a wide range of burners to accommodate your needs.

Energy Tips
Energy Saving Tips
餀
Place a utensil on the cooktop before turning on the burner.
餀
Use a lid to retain heat.
餀
Choose cookware of the proper size, material, and construction.
餀
Minimize the amount of liquid of frying oil to reduce cooking times.
餀
Use residual heat in the burner to keep foods warm or to finish up the cooking process.
餀
Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking task.
Cookware Tips
Because your Caldera cooktop distributes heat so evenly, you do not need to invest in
special
utensils.
However, it is desirable that the utensils you use maintain as much contact with the element as possible.
This serves to maximize performance and safety. We recommend the use of flat-bottomed utensils, the
same size as, or not more than 1
in diameter larger than, the element. Avoid using utensils with warped,
rounded, ridged or indented bottoms. Use flat-bottomed woks rather than round-bottomed woks. Metal
cookware is more suitable than glass because of its superior conductivity.
