Jenn-Air SCE4320 Use And Care Manual

CookwareTo achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottomcookpots that conform to the diameter of the solid or radiant element (no more than oneinch overhang). Proper cookpots will minimize cooking times, use less electricity, cookfood more evenly and require less water or oil.Cookpots with thin, uneven bottoms do not adequately conduct heat from the solid orradiant element to the food in the cookpots which results in hot spots, burned orunderdone food. Using bad cookpots also requires more water, time, and energy to cookfood.Selecting Proper Cookware• Select heavy gauge cookpots. Usually heavy gauge cookpots will not changeshape when heated.• Usecookpots with flat, smooth bottoms.

No light should be visible under t h eruler.Cooking Test:1. Put 1 inch of water into the cookpot.2. Place cookpot on the element. Turn control to the HI setting.3. Observe the bubble formation to determine the heat distribution. If thebubbles are uniform across the cookpot, the cookpot will perform satisfac-torily. If the bubbles are not uniform, the bubbles will indicate the hot spots.• Match the size of the cookpot to the size of the element. Ideally, the cookpotwill be the same size or slightly larger.10
