Using the Cooktop
Using the Proper Cookware
WARNING
•
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. Always 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 efficiently.
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.
