Using the rangetop
Cookware
WARNING
•
Rough-bottomed cookware can permanently damage the coated surfaces.
•
To avoid burns and scalding, always turn pan handles away from the front edge of the
rangetop and adjacent burners.
•
Lift to reposition cookware. Sliding may damage the grate finish. Always set cookware
gently onto the grates and center them for good balance.
•
To avoid burns or fire, do not let flames extend beyond the base of the cookware.
•
If using glass cookware, verify that it is designed for rangetop cooking.
•
Never leave plastic items on the rangetop. Hot vent air can melt or ignite plastic or
burst sealed plastic containers.
•
Always hold a wok or small pot by the handle while cooking.
For overall safety and best performance, select the correct cooking utensil for the food
being cooked. Improperly selected cooking utensils will not cook evenly or efficiently.
Use cookware that:
•
have flat, smooth bottoms and are well balanced
•
have tight-fitting lids to keep heat, odors, and steam in
•
well-balanced with handles weighing less than the main portion of the cookware.
