Rangetop Features (Designer)
Glass Ran etop
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process. Clean your lass top before
the first time you use it. A thorou h cleanin with
a lass top cleaner is recommended.
Cookware
Each cook has his or her own preference for the
particular cookware that is most appropriate for
the type of cooking being done. This a matter of
personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should
be in good condition and free from excessive dents
on the bottom to provide maximum performance
and convenience. When using big pots, it is
recommended to use the front elements. There is
more room in the front and potential cleanup of rear
of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be
minimized.
Cookware Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as
they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are
heavy to move when filled with food may also be
hazardous.
•B
e sure cookware is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is
particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure
pan will accommodate the volume of food that is
to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
Cookware Safety (cont.)
•To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent
burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room where
they are easily hit or reached by small children.
•NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the
utensil and the appliance.
•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed cookware are suitable for the rangetop surface
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any
devices or accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid
covers for the surface units. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly recommended in
this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.
Before Using Rangetop
