Using the Cooktop
About Cookware
• Cookware with rough bottoms can permanently damage the coated surfaces.
• To avoid burns and scalding, turn handles away from the the front of the range and adjacent burners. Al-
ways center cookware on the grates for best balance.
• Always lift to reposition cookware. Do not drop cookware on a grate.
•
To avoid burns or fire, keep the flame beneath the cookware.
• Verify that glass cookware is designed for cooktop use.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop or in front of the range. Flames or hot air in these areas can melt/
ignite/explode such items.
• Hold a wok or small pot by its handle while cooking.
For overall safety and best performance, select cookware suitable for the task so food cooks evenly and effi
-
ciently.
Use cookware that:
•
has flat, smooth bottoms
•
has tight-fitting lids to keep heat, odors, and steam in
• well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the
main portion of the pot or pan.
