Porcelain enamel on steel or cast Iron: See stainless steel or cast iron. Stainless steel: Heats quickly, but unevenly. A core or base of aluminium or copper on stainless steel provides even heating. Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side. Use Balanced Pans Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center pan over burner. Use a Lid That Fits Properly A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability. BALANCED PAN CONCAVE (HOLLOW) FLAME TOO LARGE FOR PAN SIZE 005 UNBALANCED PAN CONVEX (ROUNDED) USE LIDS THAT FIT PROPERLY Use & Care Manual Model COGB ENGLISH Use a wok pot: If using a round bottomed wok pot, use the "FCI" support wok ring accessory supplied with models.

Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above. After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/cookers). 006 Use & Care Manual Model COGB ENGLISH Cleaning the Cooktop The entire Cooktop can be safety cleaned by wiping with a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying.
