o Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat.
Turn the dement off a few minutes
before food iscompletely cooked and
use the retained heat to complete the
cooking.
Becauseof the heat retention charac-
teristics, the dements will not respond
to changesin settingsasquickly ascoii
dements. #nthe event ore potential
boilover, remove the pan _rom the
cooking area.
To achieveoptimum cooking performance,
useheavy-gauge,fiat, smooth bottom pans
that conform to the diameter of the cook-
ingarea.( See_CooRing Made Simple _t
for cookware characteristics and recom-
mendations.)
