WARNING:
The surface

surface unit controls are turned off at all
times during the self-clean cycle. Any
surface unit that is set to an on position,
while the self-clean cycle is operating, will
automatically come on after the self-clean

Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the
edge of the surface unit more than 1
″
.
Not over 1 inch.

Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the
bottom.
Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are available
from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and
Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use
caution when canning.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop.
Do not use round bottom woks. You
could be seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.
The
WARM
setting (on some models)
in the right REAR surface unit keeps
already heated food warm until
ready to serve.
