Whirlpool WEG730H0DB Benutzeranleitung

Select a burner that best fits your cookware. See the following 
illustration and chart.

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface 
cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-
fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 
thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum and 
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, 
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the 
surfaces.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is 
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the 
same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum 
cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of 
aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the 
broiler.

Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the 
bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or 
light should be visible between it and the cookware.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy 
efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the 
cooking area outlined on the cooktop or the coil element. 
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the 
surface cooking area or element.
