Surface Cooking - Frigidaire PLGF659ECA Use And Care Manual

Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should have
flat bottoms that make
good contact with the
entire surface heating
element. Check for
flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (See
Figure 1). Be sure to
follow the
recommendations for
using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will
influence the setting needed for best cooking
results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in the
oven or on the cooktop.

pan. Pan is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.
• Made of material that con-
ducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on
your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner
circumference) may also be used. The
metal ring was designed to support the wok
safely when it is filled with large amounts of
liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates.
INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
• Pan overhangs burner grate by more
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Flame extends beyond pan.
Figure 2
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the burner
circumference. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface could
be damaged.
