Maytag MER8700DB Manual De Propietario

■

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking 
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) 
outside the area.

■

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and 
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or 
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking 
results.

■

Determine 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.

■

Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small 
expansion channels can be used.

■

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry 
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when 
heated.

■

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on 
the cooktop.

Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting, 
abrasions and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass 
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for 
stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or 
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number 
31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition your 
ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the “Range Care” section for 
additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface 
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each 
use to remove all soils.

The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel. 
When any control knob on the console panel is turned on, the 
Cooktop On indicator light will glow.

On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located 
on the console panel.
The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface 
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking 
area is turned off.

The Dual Choice™ Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on 
the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way 
as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and 
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

The Triple-Choice Cooking Element offers flexibility depending on 
the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way 
as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine single, dual 
and outer elements and are recommended for larger size 
cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.

The Power™ Element Cooking Zone offers flexibility for 2 optional 
heating choices. The High heat option can be used to boil liquids 
faster. The Melt option can be used to prepare sauces, to brown or 
saute foods and to keep food at a low temperature. Use cookware 
appropriate in size for the Power™ Element Cooking Zone.
