Cooktop cooking
Using the proper cookware
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or
extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times
and cook food more evenly.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan.
• Pan is well balanced.
•
Pan size matches the amount
of food to be prepared and the
size of the surface element.
• Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
Always match pot diameter to
element surface diameter.
Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs element by more
than one-half inch.
Pan is smaller than element.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Using the warming center
The warming center , located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot,
cooked food at serving temperature.
NOTE
The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.
CAUTION
• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
•
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming
center as cookware and plates will be hot.
• When warming pastries and breads, the cover should have an opening to
allow moisture to escape.
• Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the
warming center could result in illness.
1. To turn the warming center on, press the Warming Center On/Off pad.
2. Select the power setting you want. Press the Warming Center Level pad once
for 1, twice for 2, or three times for 3.
3. To turn the warming center off, press the Warming Center On/Off pad.
NOTE
• Pressing the OFF/CLEAR pad does not turn the warming center off.
• For best results, all foods on the warming center should be covered with a
lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be
vented to allow moisture to escape.
