Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
}}To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container }}
should be turned toward the center
of the cooktop without extending over
any nearby surface elements.
}}Always turn the surf`ace element control to
off before remox,ing the cookware.
}}Use proper pan size---select cookware

contact and may result in i_ition of }}
clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surf`aceelement will also improve efficiency. }}
}}Never lemre surf`ace elements unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. }}
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthemvare or odmr glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in }}
temperature.
}}Keep an eye on fbods being fried at high
or medium-high heat settings.
Foods fbr flying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on flozen fbods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot tat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat for eftective shallow or
deep4at frying. Filling the pan tot) full
of fat can cause spillovers when fbod is
added.
ff a combination of oils or f`ats will be used
in flying, stir together befbre heating, or as
f`ats melt slowly.
Always heat f`atslowly,and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermomemr whenever
possible m prevent overheating tat beyond
the smoking point.
Never try to move a pan of hot fht,
especially a deep tat flyer. Wait until
the f`at is cool
_:_Do not store flammable mamrials near

Selectingtypesofcookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Porcelain Enamel on Cast iron:
recommendedif bottomof panis coated
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridgedorwarpedbottomsare
notrecommended.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cool<top, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight Numinum shoukt not
be used.
CopperBottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cool<top is
cleaned immediately. Howevet; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheamd metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanen@ stain the cool<top
if not remcwed immediamly.
Porcelain EnamelonSteel:
not recommended
Headng empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cool<top glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cool<top.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the
suIf_lce.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor perfbrInance. May scratch die
suIf_lce.
Cast iron:
not recommended--unless designedspecifically
forglasscooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb
heat. Will scratch the cool<top smf_ce.
NOTE:Followallcookwaremanufacturer'srecommendationswhenusinganytypeofcookwareonthe
ceramiccooktop.
Do notplacewetPans
ontheglasscooktop.
DOnot use woks with Support
rings onthe glass cooktop.
For Best Results
i> Place only dry pans on the surfitce
elements. Do not place lids on the
surf_tce elements, particularly wet
lids.
{{{}{Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not heat
on glass surf_ce elements.
' We recommend that you use only a
flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same
diameter as the surf_ce element
to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures
require specific cool<ware such as
pressme cookers, deep-fi_t flyers, etc.
All cool<ware must have fiat bottoms
and be the correct size.

Observe the Following Points in Canning
Pots that exmnd beyond 1" of
file surface element's circle are not
recommended fat" most surface cooMng.
However; when canning with wamrq)ath
or pressure canner; large>diamemr pots
m W be used. This is because boiling
water temperatures (even trader

cool<top surfaces surrounding the
smface e][ements.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER
LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER
THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce
mixunes--and all types of flTingmcook
at mtnpetaanes much higher than
boiling water Such temperatures could
evenUta/ly harm the glass cooktop
Stttf_tces.
%Be sure the canner fits over the
center of the surface element. If
your cooktop or its location does
not allow the canner to be centered
on the surface element, use
smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
Fht-bottomed catmers nmst be
used. Do not use cannet_ with
flanged or tippled bottoms (often
found in enameh, vare) because they
don't mal<e enough contact with
the surface elements and rake a
long time to boil wa.mt:
[_] Remember that canning is a
process flint generates large
amounts of steam. To avoid bmns
flom smam or heat, be carefltl
when canning.
NOTE:Ifyour house has low voltage,
