Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used.

Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven

to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting

the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time.
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause

corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover
Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect

bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches

cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip

bowls.

DO NOT

use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the

size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from your

dealer.
Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and utensils can cause

scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before

usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with

time.
Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been

used. See "Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning" in the

General Cleaning

section.

Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed

cookware.
Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal

utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to

remove the marks. See "Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning" in the

General

Cleaning

section.

Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See

"Ceramic-Glass Cooktop Cleaning" in the

General Cleaning

section.

Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop

cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.
