Surface Cooking

Surface cooking utensils

Pans should have flat bottoms. Check

for flatness by rotating a ruler across

the bottom. There should be no gaps

between the pan and ruler.

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots,

griddles and pressure cookers may be

used but must conform to the above

recommended cookware requirements.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils

were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Setting surface controls

Your cooktop may be equipped with any

combination of the following burners:

Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate

sauces, etc.

Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking

needs.

Large Burner: best used when bringing large

quantities of liquid to temperature and when

preparing larger quantities of food.

Regardless of size, always select a utensil

that is suitable for the amount and type of food

being prepared. Select a burner and flame size

appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to

extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

The valves provide enhanced control of the burner

flame. Each burner

lights automatically

from an electric ignitor

when its control knob

is pushed.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and

straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle

does not tilt pan. Pan

is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size

of burner.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to the

symbol .

Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time

when the knob is pushed in. However, only the burner

you are turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. Turn the control knob to the desired flame size.

The control knobs do not have to be set at a

particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the

flame as needed.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in

use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,

towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed

too close to a flame.

In the event of an electrical power outage, the

surface burners can be lit manually. To light a

surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head,

then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to light

position. Use caution when lighting surface burners

manually.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan

bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more

than 2.5 cm (1").

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.
