Flame Size
For most cooking,starton thehighestcontrol settingandthen turntoa loweroneto complete
theprocess.Use thechart below asa guide fordetermining properflamesize forvarioustypes of
cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence
the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying,use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the
fatistoo cool, thefood will absorbthe fat andbegreasy. If thefat is toohot,the foodwillbrown
so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at
once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
* These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans.
Avoid fire hazard or
electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor
plug, an extension cord, or remove
grounding prong from electrical power
cord. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire or death.
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pansshould haveflat bottoms.Check for
flatnessby rotatingaruleracrossthebot-
tom. There should be no gaps between
the pan and ruler.
Note:Always useautensil forits intend-
ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in-
structions.Someutensils werenot made
tobe usedin theovenoronthecooktop.
*Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used
butmustconform to the aboverecommendedcookware requirements.
Note:Do notuse griddleover morethan
one burner. That can damage your
cooktop and that can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above allow-
ablecurrentstandards. Thatcanhazard-
ous to your health.
*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.
Made of a material that
conducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
POOR
Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs unit by more than
one inch or 2.5 cm.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Flame extends beyond unit

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends
beyond the burner unit. Because this
ring traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Specialty Pans & Trivets Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a
support ring that does not extend
beyond the burner unit) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is
filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Donot usewire trivets. Cookwarebottoms mustbe indirect contact
withthegrates.
DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the
panineither ofthesesituations couldcausediscoloring orcrazingof theappliance
cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.
Canning Tips &
Information 1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
thelatestcanning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the
bottomsurfaceis flat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to
bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.
Safe canningrequires that harmfulmicro-organisms aredestroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
Canning can generate
largeamountsofsteam.Useextremecau-
tion to prevent burns. Always raise the
lid to vent steam away from you.

MESURES IMPORTANTES DE SÉCURITÉ(suite)
•Vous devez savoir quel bouton commande chacun des
brûleursdesurface. Tournezleboutonàlaposition"LITE"
(ALLUMAGE) pour mettre les brûleurs en marche. Vérifiez
que le brûleur est allumé puis réglez la flamme pour qu'elle
ne dépasse pas de l'ustensile.
Bonne dimension de la flamme—
Réglezla flammepour qu'ellene dépassepasdu bordde
l'ustensile. Avecdesustensilesdedimensioninsuffisante,une
partie de la flamme du brûleur sera exposée et risquera de
mettre la feu aux vêtements. Un bon contact entre l'ustensile
et la flamme améliore aussi l'efficacité.
N'utilisezpas desgrilles de réchaud
sur vos brûleurs à gaz scellés. Sinon, la combustion serait
incomplète et il pourrait en résulter un dégagement de mo-
noxydedecarbone àdesdoses supérieuresauxniveaux admis,
ce qui serait dangereux pour votre santé.
• Utilisez la grosseur de casserole appropriée—Cet
appareil est équipé d'un ou plusieurs brûleurs de surface de
différentes grosseurs. Choisissiez les ustensiles ayant un
dessous plat, assez large pour recouvrir le brûleur. Si vous
utilisezdesustensilestroppetits,unepartie dubrûleurseraà
découvert, et les vêtements entrant directement en contact
aveclebrûleursontsusceptiblesdeprendrefeu. L'utilisation
d'ustensiles d'une taille proportionnelle au brûleur améliore
aussi le rendement.
• Les poignées d'ustensiles doivent être tournées vers
l'intérieur, sans surplomber les brûleurs adjacents, afin
de réduire les risques de brûlure, de combustion et de
renversements causés par le contact involontaire avec un
ustensile.
• Ne laissez jamais les brûleurs de surface sans
surveillance à des réglages élevés—Les débordements
causent de la fumée, les éclaboussures de graisse sont
susceptibles de prendre feu et les ustensiles dont le contenu
s'est évaporé peuvent fondre.
• Protecteurs—N'utilisez pas de papier d'aluminium pour
recouvrir les cuvettes des brûleurs de surface ou toute autre
partiede l'appareil. Utilisezseulement lepapier d'aluminium
pour recouvrir la nourriture durant la cuisson au four. Toute
autre utilisation de protecteurs ou de papier aluminium est
susceptibledecauser unchocélectrique, un feuou un court-
circuit.
• Ustensile vitrifiés—Enraisonde brusqueschangementsde
température,onnepeututiliseraveclasurfacedecuissonque
certains ustensiles en verre, en vitrocéramique ou en terre
cuite, ou autres ustensiles vitrifiés, sans risquer qu'ils se
fendent. Vérifiez les recommandations du fabricant quant à
leur utilisation sur une surface de cuisson.
• N'utilisez pas de couvercle de brûleur décoratif. Si un
brûleur est accidentellement allumé, le couvercle risque de
chauffer et éventuellement de fondre. Vous risquez de vous
brûler en touchant le couvercle. Aussi, il y a risque
d'endommagementdelasurfacedecuissonetdesbrûleurss'il
y a surchauffe du couvercle. L'air sera aussi bloqué, ce qui
entraîneradesproblèmes de combustion.
SURFACE EN VERRE TREMPÉ (certains modèles):
• Nenettoyezpasetnefaitespasfonctionnerunetablede
cuisson avec une vitre cassée—Si le verre de la surface est
fissuré, les solutions de nettoyage et produits renversés
pourraient pénétrer à l'intérieur de la surface de cuisson et
entraîner un risque de décharge électrique. Prenez contact
immédiatement avec un technicien qualifié.
• Nettoyezprudemmentleverredelasurfacedecuisson—
Si vous utilisez un linge ou une éponge humide pour enlever

Dimension de la flamme
Pour presque tous les types de cuisson, commencez par le réglage le plus élevé, puis tournez
sur un réglage plus faible pour terminer la cuisson. Suivez le tableau ci-dessous pour déterminer
labonnedimension delaflamme correspondantauxdifférents typesdecuisson. Ladimension et

Pour la grande friture,servez-vousd'unthermomètre etréglezla commandeenconséquence.
Si la graisse est trop froide, la nourriture absorbe la graisse. Si la graisse est trop chaude, la
nourriture brunit rapidement et le centre n'est pas cuit. N'essayez pas de frire à un feu élevé une
trop grande quantité à la fois, la nourriture risquant de brunir ou de ne pas cuire correctement.
* Certains réglages sont basés sur l'utilisation de casseroles en aluminium de poids moyen avec couvercle. Les
réglages peuvent varier avec d'autres types de casseroles.
Éviter tout risque
de feu ou de choc électrique. Ne pas utiliser
de cordon prolongateur ni de fiche
d'adaptation. Ne pas enlever la broche de
mise à la terre du cordon électrique. Si cet
avertissement n'était pas suivi, il pourrait en
