3. Visually check the burner covers correct positioning. 15 USING THE COOKTOP Cooking utensils IMPORTANT • Each burner component must be positioned horizontally and must correctly interlock with each other. • Check that they are fitted correctly by moving each component gently. If the components do not fit correctly or are inclined, adjust the position of each component until it remains fixed in position. Cooktop grates placement First position the right and left side grates (1) and then the central one (2). Position the grates so that the raised side always faces towards the backguard. Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough cookware finishes may scratch the cooktop surface. Aluminum and copper may be used in cookware as a core material or for the base. However, when used as a base, it can leave permanent marks on the rangetop or grates. Cookware properties are a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, a non-stick finish on aluminum cookware will take on the properties of aluminum. Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils were not designed to be used in the oven or on the cooktop. Refer to the following chart as a guide to the physical properties of cookware. Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly. • Suitable for all types of cooking. • Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks. Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly. • Good for browning and frying. • Maintains heat for slow cooking. Ceramic or glass-ceramic • Follow the manufacturer's instructions. • Heats slowly but unevenly. • Best results with low to medium heat settings. Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly. Earthenware • Follow the manufacturer's instructions. • Use low heat settings.
