Question about ceramic cooktop on gas range
Hello, this is my first post here and I'd like to start off by
thanking all of you for your great advice. I've just bought a Dual-Fuel Frigidaire with a Gas-through-Ceramic Glass Cooktop (that's how it is described in the literature). One of the things I was looking forward to was making a pancake breakfast on a griddle, the kind of griddle that covers two burners. However, when I read my owners manual yesterday I was appalled to read: "CAUTION: DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units." I've never had a ceramic cooktop before, but to not allow a griddle to be used on a cooktop seemed very strange to me, so I went to www.frigidaire.com and looked up my model http://www.frigidaire.com/products/c..._PLCS389DC.asp I read the Owner's Manual listed on the page there (the one for my model) and it says something different regarding using a griddle. It says: "WARNING: Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of your sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health." The Owner's Manual (the one on Frigidaire's web site) does not mention anything about possible damage to the cooktop. My question: Has anyone else come across this? Do any of you have a ceramic cooktop with gas burners and use a griddle that covers two burners? If so, I would be very interested whether it had any noticeable effect on the ceramic cooktop. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Cheers, Tara |
