Cookware recommendations
¡ Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
evenly.
¡ Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook
unevenly.
¡ Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
more evenly at low to medium settings.
¡ Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
¡ DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.
6.2 Using cookware
The selection and positioning of the cookware affects the
safety and energy efficiency of your appliance.
WARNING
Flammable objects may ignite.
Maintain a distance of at least 2½" (50ºmm) between
▶
the cookware and flammable objects.
Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and
temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may
occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality
of the appliance.
Ensure that the size of the cookware is
suitable for the burner size. Never use
small cookware on large burners.
Ensure that the flame does not touch
the sides of the cookware.
Do not use deformed cookware.
Deformed cookware is not stable on
the cooktop and may tip over. Use
cookware with a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without a lid. Ensure that
the lid does not move. When cooking
without a lid, a large amount of the
energy will escape.
Position the cookware in the middle of
the burner, otherwise it may tip over.
Do not position large cookware on the
burners close to the controls. The
controls may be damaged due to
overheating.
