How Does This Cooktop Compare to Your Old One?
Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used to
cooking with induction or other electric surface units,
you will notice some differences when you use gas
burners°
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or
surface unit you have_
The following chart will help you to understand the dif-
ferences between gas burner cooktops and any other
type of cook'top you may have used in the past.
Type of Cooktop Description How it Works
Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly,, Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results,
gas burners use but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and
either LP gas change heat settings right away,, When you turn the control off, cooking stops
or natural gas. right away.

High frequency
induction coils

surface.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For
best cooking results, use good quality pans Electric coils are more forgiving
of warped pans than radiant or solid disks, Heats up quickly but does not
change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot
enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off,
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for
good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric
coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off_
Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be
flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot
enough to continue cooking after it is turned off_ Remove the pan from the
surface unit if you want cooking to stop,
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet)° Heat is
produced by a magnetic circuit between the col! and the pan, Heats up right
away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop, After turning
the control off, the glass cook*top is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking
stops right away.
