Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to
follow the recommendations for using proper
cookware as illustrated in Figs. 1 & 2.
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 Fig. 1).
