Electric Cooktop Operation
Before using the cooktop for the first
time
•
All products are wiped clean with
solvents at thefactory to remove
any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained
from the manufacturing process.
•
If present, remove all packing and
literature from the cooktop surface.
•
Clean your glass top before the
first time you use it. A thorough
cleaning with a glass top cleaner
is recommended. It only takes a
minute and puts a clean, shiny
coating on the glass top before its
initial use.
•
There may be a slight odour during
the first several uses: this is normal
and will disappear.
•
Optimum cooking result depends
on the proper cookware being
selected and used.
•
The cooking surface will hold
the heat and remain hot over 20
minutes after the elements have
been turned off.
•
The glass ceramic cooking surface
is a durable material resistant to
impact but not unbreakable if a pan
or other object is dropped on it.
•
Do not use aluminum foil directly on
the glass; it will melt and damage
the glass surface.
•
Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This
can damage the pan, element and
/or cooktop.
•
Never cook food directly on the
glass.
•
Do not slide cookware across
cooking surface it may scratch the
glass.
•
Using cast iron cookware on the
glass cooktop Is not recommended.
Cast iron retains heat and may
result in cooktop damage.
Cookware
General
The choice of pan directly affects the
cooking performance (speed and
uniformity) for best result select pans
with the following features.
Flat base
When a pan is hot, the base (pan
bottom)should rest evenly on the
surface without wobbling (rocking).
Ideal cookware should have a flat
bottom, straight side, a well fitting lid
and the material should be of medium
to heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the
cooktop.
Match Pan Diameter to radiant
element
The base of the pan should cover or
match the diameter of the element
being used.
