Surface Cookware Tips 

(electric coil models only)

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with 
other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be 
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit. 
The pan should not extend over the edge 
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Not over 1 inch.

Wok Cooking 

(electric coil models only)

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
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 porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Indicator Light 

(glass cooktops only)

HOT SURFACE

indicator light will glow

when any radiant element is turned on, 
and will remain on until the surface is 
cool enough to touch. 

It comes on when the unit is hot to the touch.

It stays on even after the unit is turned off.

It glows brightly until the unit is safe to touch.

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 range and hood clean from grease.
