Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill
cookware
with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep cooktop
and hood clean from grease.
Wok Cooking
We recommend
that
you use only a fiat-
bottomed
wok. They are
available
at your local
retail store.
Do not use woks that
have support
rings.
Use of these types of
woks, with or without
the ring in place can
be dangerous.
Placing
the ring over the
surface unit will cause a build-up
of heat that will
damage the cooktop.
Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously
burned if
the wok tipped over.
Questions
and Answers
Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil?
A. No. Clean as recommended
in the Care and
Cleaning
section.
Q. Can I use special
cooking
equipment,
like an
oriental
wok, on any surface
units?
A. Cookware
without fiat surfaces
is not
recommended.
The life of the module surface
units can be shortened
and the cooktop can be
damaged
from the high heat needed
for this type
of cooking.
A special fiat-bottomed
wok can be
used safely.
Q. Why am I not getting
the heat I need from
my
surface
units even though l have the controls
on the correct
setting?
A. After turning the surface units off and making sure
they are cool, check to make sure that the plug-in
units are securely plugged
in.
Q. Why does my cookware
tilt when
l place it on
the surface
unit?
A. Because the surface unit is not fiat. Make sure the
feet of the surface units are sitting on the inside
rim of the drip pan and the drip pan is fiat on the
cooktop surface.
Q. Why is the porcelain
finish on my cookware
coming ofF?
A. If you set the surface unit coil higher than required
for the cookware
material
and leave it, the finish
may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending
on the
pot or pan.
Also, if you set the surface unit coil higher than
required for a long period of time, with small
amounts
of dry food, you can damage the finish.
Q. May I can foods and preserves
on my coil
surface units?
A. Yes, but only use cookware
designed
for canning
purposes.
Check the manufacturer's
instructions
and recipes for preserving
foods. Be sure canner
is fiat-bottomed
and fits over the center of the
coil surface unit. Since canning
generates
large
amounts
of steam, be careful to avoid burns from
steam or heat.
