Cooktop Use

COOKING UTENSILS

For best results we recommend using Professional Cookware.This type of utensil can be found at your
finer department stores, specialty cooking shops, or Restaurant Supply Stores. If using regular cookware
be very careful if the pans have plastic handles, as these large professional size burners can flame up on
the outside of the pan and melt or bubble the handles.

CONTROL KNOBS

The control knobs are readily associated with the burners they control.The cooktop control knobs are
labeled and in front of the burners.The oven control is placed slightly lower than the other control
knobs.This is due to the physical size of the commercial type thermostats used on the product.
