USING THE SURFACE UNITS Using cookware • Use the correct cookware to prevent damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring, and surrounding areas. • If the cookware is too small for the surface unit or the bottom is not flat, the surface unit could stay glowing red for an extended length of time causing damage to the unit. • If you start cooking on high, it is important to turn the control down to a lower setting to complete cooking. • The surface unit could overheat or be damaged if a pot has boiled dry or has been left empty on a hot surface unit. Using the right cookware makes a big difference • Flat bottomed cookware, including woks, canners, and teakettles, will provide better contact with the surface unit and provide the best cooking and energy saving results. • Warped, dented, and ribbed-bottomed cookware can result in uneven cooking due to incomplete contact with the surface unit. • Cookware that has been designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used. • Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware. • The pan material (type of metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats. Home canning information To protect your range: • Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. • Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan that you can center over the surface. Large diameter canners/pans, if not centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop. • Do not place your canner on two surface units at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop. • Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed to keep water boiling. • Keep your reflector bowls clean so that they will always reflect heat well. • To keep your elements working for as long as possible: - Prepare small batches at a time. - Do not use your elements for canning all day. • Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions. - 6 -

USING
THE
SURFACE
UNITS
Using
cookware
•
Use
the
correct
cookware
to
prevent
damage
to
the
surface
unit,
cooktop,
wiring,
and
surrounding
areas.
•
If
the
cookware
is
too
small
for the
surface
unit
or
the
bottom
is
not
flat,
the
surface
unit
could
stay
glowing
red
for
an
extended
length
of
time
causing
damage
to
the
unit.
•
If
you
start
cooking
on
high,
it
is
important
to
turn
the
control
down
to
a
lower
setting
to
complete
cooking.
•
The
surface
unit
could
overheat
or
be
damaged
if
a
pot
has
boiled
dry
or
has
been
left
empty
on
a
hot
surface
unit.
Using
the
right
cookware
makes
a
big
difference
•
Flat
bottomed
cookware,
including
woks,
canners,
and
teakettles,
will
provide
better
contact
with
the
surface
unit
and
provide
the
best
cooking
and
energy
saving
results.
•
Warped,
dented,
and
ribbed
-bottomed
cookware
can
result
in
uneven
cooking
due
to
incomplete
contact
with
the
surface
unit.
•
Cookware
that
has
been
designed
with
slightly
indented
bottoms
or
small
expansion
channels
can
be
used.
•
Choose
medium
to
heavy
gauge
(thickness)
cookware.
•
The
pan
material
(type
of
metal
or
glass)
affects
how
quickly
and
evenly
the
pan
heats.

canning
information
To
protect
your
range:
•
Use
flat-bottomed
canners/pans
for
best
results.
•
Use
the
largest
surface
unit
for
best
results.
Also,
use
a
canner/pan
that
you
can
center
over
the
surface.
Large
diameter
canners/pans,
if
not
centered
correctly,
trap
heat
and
can
cause
damage
to
the
cooktop.
•
Do
not
place
your
canner
on
two
surface
units
at
the
same
time.
Too
much
heat
will
build
up
and
will
damage
the
cooktop.
•
Start
with
hot
water.
This
reduces
the
time
the
control
is
set
on
high.
Reduce
the
heat
setting
to
the
lowest
position
needed
to
keep
water
boiling.
•
Keep
your
reflector
bowls
clean
so
that
they
will
always
reflect
heat
well.
•
To
keep
your
elements
working
for
as
long
as
possible:
-
Prepare
small
batches
at
a
time.
-
Do
not
use
your
elements
for
canning
all
day.
•
Refer
to
your
canner
manual
for
specific
instructions.
