GEAppliances.com Deep Fat Frying Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures. Keep cooktop and hood clean from grease. Wok Cooking We recommend that you use only a fiatbottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over. Questions and Answers Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil? A. No. Clean as recommended in the Care and Cleaning section. Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental wok, on any surface units? A. Cookware without fiat surfaces is not recommended. The life of the module surface units can be shortened and the cooktop can be damaged from the high heat needed for this type of cooking. A special fiat-bottomed wok can be used safely. Q. Why am I not getting the heat I need from my surface units even though l have the controls on the correct setting? A. After turning the surface units off and making sure they are cool, check to make sure that the plug-in units are securely plugged in. Q. Why does my cookware tilt when l place it on the surface unit? A. Because the surface unit is not fiat. Make sure the feet of the surface units are sitting on the inside rim of the drip pan and the drip pan is fiat on the cooktop surface. Q. Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware coming ofF? A. If you set the surface unit coil higher than required for the cookware material and leave it, the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the pot or pan. Also, if you set the surface unit coil higher than required for a long period of time, with small amounts of dry food, you can damage the finish. Q. May I can foods and preserves on my coil surface units? A. Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning purposes. Check the manufacturer's instructions and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is fiat-bottomed and fits over the center of the coil surface unit. Since canning generates large amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns from steam or heat. 11
