Cooktop and Radiant Surface Units

Use proper pan size—Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit
to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of the cookware to
the surface units will also improve efficiency.

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum

some models) to monitor cooking progress. Opening
the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat
to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking
results may also be affected.
