Cooking Utensils For Radiant Elements
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking
utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for glass rangetop use without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. This is a matter of
personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good
condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide
maximum performance and convenience.
CAUTION
Using cast iron cookware on the glass rangetop with radiant elements
is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat when used on radiant
elements and may result in rangetop damage.
11. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers, which may ignite.
12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned toward the
center of the range so that it does not extend over adjacent
surface elements.
13. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.)
may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns.
14. Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may
cause the container to explode and result in injury.
15. Clean the rangetop with caution. After the rangetop has cooled
down, wipe with damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning
solution. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
16. Do not cook on a rangetop with broken glass. Spillovers or
cleaning solution may penetrate a broken glass top and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your rangetop glass become broken.
