surface, because they can get hot.
• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. N ev er leav e

• Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods req uiring the
same cooking temperature together in one oven.
• For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 36 for proper rack
and pan placements.
• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when
heating. Heating ½
pot.
• U se cookware with flat bottoms to provide the best contact with the cooktop surface when
cooking on the glass-ceramic cooktop.
• Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. U sing
a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the ex p osed surface of the
element is a burn or fire hazard.
• Reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the EasyClean
self-clean.
• Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven
maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.
