COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls
(on some models)
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the �General Cleaning� section. Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the off position.
