Setting Surface Controls

Models with coil elements (some models)

Indicator lights

Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models

have an indicator light for each pair of heating units, also some other

models have an indicator light for all heating units.

The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check

if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual heating

unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the

indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at all.

If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit

comes on.

When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights in an easy

check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned OFF.

Setting Surface Controls

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop

outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element

outline on the cooktop.

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type

and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of

heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to

cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the

selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent

heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow

residual heat to complete the cooking process.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care

& Cleaning section and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the

HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is

normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom

is not flat (Refer to page 12 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass

surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and

the glass will come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down.

(White glass cooktops only).

Radiant

surface elements may

appear to have cooled after

they have been turned off. A

hot surface indicator light

will come on and will

continue to glow until the

glass cooktop has cooled

down to a moderate level.

The glass surface may still

be hot and burns may occur

if the glass surface is

touched before the indicator

light has turned off.

Do not place

plastic items such as salt

and pepper shakers,

spoon holders or plastic

wrappings on top of the

range when it is in use.

These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or

wooden spoons could catch

fire if placed too close to the

surface elements.

Hot Surface Indicator Light (some models)

Some models have an indicator light located on the ceramic glass cooktop that glows as soon

as the glass begins to warm up. When the heating unit is turned off, it will continue to glow as

long as the glass remains warm enough to cause burns. Other models have a hot surface

indicators per element arranged in a cluster. Their location is as shown in the illustration.

Surface Cooking Settings (Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop)

Use the chart (Figure 2) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking

results

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements (all Ceramic Glass Cooktop models)

Your cooktop is equipped with Single Radiant Surface Elements.

To Operate the Single Surface Elements:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 1). Turn

the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat

at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the

cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Note: The Surface Indicator light located under the glass cooktop will come on when the control

knob will be turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate

level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.

Note: See Figure 2 on page 5 for recommended control settings.

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element (some Ceramic Glass Cooktop models)

Some models have 1, 2, 3 or 4 Dual Radiant Surface Elements. Heat power levels

are adjusted by a special control knob that has a dual set of graduations; for small

utensils use the small graduations (Figure 2); the inner surface only will be heating

(Figure 4). For larger utensil use the larger graduations (Figure 3); the whole

surface will be heating (Figure 5).

To Operate the Dual Surface Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Figure 2) for smaller

cookware or clockwise (See Figure 3) for larger cookware.

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations

on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each

surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing

red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware

indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before

removing the cookware. Note: The Surface Indicator light located under the

ceramic glass will come on when the control knob will be turn on and will

continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level.

The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.

Note: See Figure 2 on page 5 for recommended control settings.

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)

Warm Zone Feature (some Ceramic Glass Cooktop models)

To operate the warm zone

Your appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving

temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.

Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries

and oven-safe dinner plate.

All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when

warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover

food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven

mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.

Indicator lights

The hot surface indicator light, located under the cooktop, will come on when the control is set and will

continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to moderate level.

To Set the Warm Zone Control

1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and are designate

by HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different

levels of heating.

2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The warm zone will remain warm until the hot surface indicator

light goes off.

Temperature Selection

Refer to the chart for recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed,

start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most food can be kept at serving

temperatures by using the medium level

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Figure 2

Cookware should have flat bottoms

that make good contact with the entire

surface heating element. Check for

flatness by rotating a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1).

Be sure to follow the recommendations

for using cookware as shown in Figure

Note: The size and type of cookware

used will influence the setting needed

for best cooking results.

Cookware Material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The

most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists

staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble

scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating

must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Care & Cleaning

(Cleaning Chart)

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop

Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS

AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR

CLEANING LATER.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth or paper towel. Dry with a clean cloth.

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar

and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth.

Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly

on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel

- excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other

liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage

the finish.

Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control panel,

turn all

controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the

shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the

cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water

in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after

cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip bowls easier.

The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot

element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element can be cleaned with a damp cloth—

any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used. NEVER IMMERSE A

SURFACE ELEMENT IN WATER. To remove surface elements and drip bowls, follow the

instructions under General Cleaning.

To clean drip bowls, wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still

warm. Hard-to-remove, burned-on soils can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about

20 minutes in a slightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution made of equal parts ammonia

and water. A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers

or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish,

and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To replace drip bowls and surface elements, follow

the instructions under General Cleaning.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution

of clear water and ammonia.

If necessary

, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked

paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub

with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT

use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.

Clean stainless steel with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and

a cloth. Do not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do

not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for

cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners from the surface as bluish

stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Care & Cleaning

Coil Surface Element (some models)

Be careful

not to bend terminal ends

when replacing elements

after cleaning.

To Remove and Replace Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

ATTENTION: Never leave covers on the coil elements as they could be permanently damaged if

the coil is turned on by accident.

Prior to cleaning the coil elements make sure they are cold and

that control knobs are turned to OFF. Coil elements clean

themselves when they are turned on. Coil elements and drip bowls

are removable and allow to clean the drip bowls. To remove a coil

element, push against the front edge and lift element up and out.

To clean by hand, wash the drip bowls in hot sudsy water. For hard

to remove spots, use nylon scrubber with soap. Rinse and dry will

still warm.

Never immerse coil elements in water.

Porcelain enamel cooktop cleaning instructions (some models)

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically

damage the cooking surface.

Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.

DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.

Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters are

not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.

Daily Cleaning

For normal soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.

3. If needed, use a soapy steel wool pad or other mild household cleaners.

4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.

2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia. Scour

gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean

damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop

cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For sugary spillovers:

Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop is

still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.

1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.

3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

To Raise the Cooktop for Cleaning

1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. A lift-up rod will support the top in its raised position.

Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place under the front of the

cooktop.

2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.

3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top down into the range

frame.

When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides with fingertips only. Be careful not to pinch

fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could damage the

surface.

Care & Cleaning

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (some models)

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic

surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special

cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings

on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop

has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not

removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the

cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use

your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly

on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass

cooktop, or they may crack it.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a Multi-

Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned

thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:

First, clean the surface as described above. Then, if soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade

scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with

cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad

other than a Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic

cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if

not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade

scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated).

Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon

pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as

they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the

cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil: Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any

circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils: Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other

metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may

permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

(1) House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check/reset breaker or replace fuse. If the

problem is a circuit overload, have this situation corrected by a qualified electrician.

(2) Service wiring not complete. Contact installation agent or dealer.

(3) Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call local electric company.

(1) No power to appliance. Check/reset breaker or replace fuse. If the problem is a circuit overload,

or improper connection of the armored cable supplied with the appliance, have this situation

corrected by a qualified electrician.

(2) Too low heat setting. Turn control to a slightly higher setting until element comes on.

(3) Incorrect control is on. Be sure to use correct control for the element to be used.

(1) Incorrect control setting. Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is obtained. Dial

markings are an indicator of relative heat settings and will vary slightly.

(2) Lightweight or warped pans being used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight

cookware.

(3) Voltage is incorrect. Be sure appliance is properly connected to the specified power source.

(4) Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Pans having a flat

bottom heat better than warped pans. Cookware material affects heating. Heavy and medium

weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

(1) Improper cookware. Select flat-bottomed cookware of a proper size to fit element.

(2) Incorrect control setting. Raise or lower setting until proper amount of heat is obtained.

(1) Coarse particles (such as salt or sand) are between cooktop and utensil. Be sure cooktop

surface and bottom of utensils are clean before use. Small scratches do not affect cooking and

will become less visible with use.

(2) Cleaning materials not recommended for glass ceramic cooktop have been used. See

Ceramic-Glass Cooktop section in this Owner's Guide.

(3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used. Use flat-bottomed, smooth utensils. See

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils in this Owner's Guide.

(1) Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop

surface. Use a mildly abrasive cleanser to remove marks.

(1) Boilovers have cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil. See Ceramic-

Glass Cooktop section in this Owner's Guide.

(2) Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. Use

recommended cleaners and cleaning method. See Ceramic-Glass Cooktop section in this

Owner's Guide.

(1) Mineral deposits from water and food. Wet surface with water and sprinkle on a cooktop

cleaning creme. Scrub with a clean damp paper towel until the stain disappears. Wipe remaining

paste away, then apply a small amount of cooktop cleaning creme and polish with a clean paper

towel. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms. See Ceramic-Glass Cooktop section in this

Owner's Guide.

(1) Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.

Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover.

(2) Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as much

as possible from direct exposure to salt air.

(1) Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches cooktop surface.

This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware

of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls

may be purchased from your dealer.

(2) Surface elements not seated properly in terminal. Turn control to OFF. Be sure surface element

is COOL. Lift out surface element. Position element properly, following instructions under

General Cleaning.

(3) Incorrect control is on. Be sure to use the correct control for the element to be used.

la plaque de série

N'utilisez jamais votre appareil pour

réchauffer ou chauffer une pièce.

• N'éteignez pas les feux de friture avec de l'eau ou de la

farine. Étouffez les feux avec un couvercle ou du

bicarbonate de soude, ou avec un extincteur à poudre

sèche ou à mousse.

• En chauffant de l'huile ou de la graisse, restez près de

l'appareil. La graisse ou l'huile peuvent prendre feu si elles

devenaient trop chaude.

• N'utilisez que des gants isolants secs. Des gants mouillés

ou humides en contact avec des surfaces chaudes peuvent

causer des brûlures par la vapeur. Ne laissez pas les gants

isolants toucher les éléments. Ne vous servez pas de torchon

ni de chiffon à la place d'un gant isolant.

• Ne réchauffez pas des contenants non ouverts.

L'accumulation de pression peut faire exploser le

contenant et blesser.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES POUR

L'UTILISATION DE VOTRE TABLE DE CUISSON

• Vous devez savoir quel bouton commande chacun des

éléments de la surface de cuisson.

• Nettoyez régulièrement votre appareil pour enlever la

graisse sur toutes ses parties, car cette graisse risque de

prendre feu. Le ventilateur d'évacuation des hottes et les filtres

de graisse doivent demeurer propres en tout temps. Ne laissez

pas la graisse s'y accumuler. Les accumulations de graisse

dans le ventilateur pourraient prendre feu. Mettez le ventilateur

en marche lorsque vous faites flamber des aliments. Reportez-

vous aux instructions du fabricant sur le nettoyage de la hotte.

• Utilisez la grosseur de casseroles appropriée. Cet appareil

est équipé d'un ou de plusieurs éléments de différentes

grosseurs. Choisissez les ustensiles ayant un dessous plat,

assez large pour recouvrir l'élément chauffant. Si vous utilisez

des ustensiles trop petits, une partie de l'élément sera à

découvert, et les vêtements entrant directement en contact

avec l'élément sont susceptibles de prendre feu. L'utilisation

d'ustensiles d'une taille proportionnelle à l'élément améliore

aussi le rendement.

• Les poignées d'ustensiles doivent être tournées vers

l'intérieur, sans surplomber les éléments adjacents, afin de

réduire les risques de brûlures, de combustion et de

renversement causés par le contact involontaire avec un

ustensile.

• Ne laissez jamais les éléments de surface sans

surveillance. Les débordements peuvent causer de la fumée,

les éclaboussures de graisse sont susceptibles de prendre feu

et les ustensiles dont le contenu s'est évaporé peuvent fondre.

• Protecteurs: N'utiliser pas de papier d'aluminium pour recouvrir

quelque partie que ce soit de la table de cuisson. Toute autre

utilisation de protecteurs ou de papier d'aluminium est

susceptible de causer un choc électrique, un feu ou un court-

circuit.

• Enlevez tout le ruban et le matériau d'emballage avant

d'utiliser l'appareil. Détruisez le cartonnage et les sacs en

plastique après le déballage de l'appareil. Ne laissez jamais

les enfants jouer avec le matériau d'emballage.

• Installation: Assurez-vous que l'appareil est correctement

installé et mis à la terre par un technicien qualifié,

conformément à la dernière édition n° 70 ANSI/NFPA du

National Electrical Code aux États Unis, ou au Canade, à la

norme C22.1 de l'ACNOR, code canadien de l'électricité,

partie 1, ainsi qu'aux codes de la région. N'installez l'appareil

que selon les instructions d'installation fournies dans la

documentation.

Demandez à votre marchand de vous recommander un

technicien qualifié ainsi qu'un centre de réparation autorisé.

Sachez comment couper le courant électrique de l'appareil à la

boîte de fusibles ou au coupe-circuit en cas d'urgence.

• Entretien par l'usager. Ne réparez pas ou ne remplacez pas

des pièces de l'appareil à moins d'une recommandation

précise dans les guides. Toutes les réparations doivent être

faites par un technicien qualifié, afin de réduire les risques de

blessure et de dommage à l'appareil.

• Ne modifiez jamais l'appareil, que ce soit en enlevant des

panneaux, protège-fils, ou toute autre pièce permanente.

• Rangement sur l'appareil: ne rangez pas des matériaux

inflammables près des éléments de surface. Ceci inclus des

papiers, plastiques, tissus, livres de cuisine, objets en

plastique et torchons, ainsi que des liquides inflammables. N'y

posez pas ou ne rangez pas des produits explosifs comme une

bombe aérosol. Les produits inflammables pourraient exploser

et allumer un feu ou causer des dommages matériels.

Ne rangez pas des articles pouvant

intéresser les enfants dans les armoires au-dessus de

l'appareil.

• Ne laissez pas les enfants seuls ou sans surveillance dans

un lieu où un appareil fonctionne. Ne les laissez jamais

s'asseoir ou se tenir debout sur l'appareil.

• NE TOUCHEZ PAS LES ÉLÉMENTS DE SURFACE, AUX

ZONES À PROXIMITÉ DE CEUX-CI. Les éléments de surface

peuvent être très chauds même s'ils sont de couleur foncée.

Les zones près des éléments peuvent devenir suffisamment

chaudes pour causer des brûlures. Pendant et après toute

utilisation, ne touchez pas et ne laissez pas vos vêtements ou

autres produits inflammables venir en contact avec ces zones

à moins qu'elles aient eu le temps de se refroidir. Ces zones

comprennent la surface de cuisson et les surfaces orientées

vers elle.

• Portez des vêtements appropriés. Ne portez jamais de

vêtements amples ou flottants en utilisant cet appareil. Ne

laissez pas les matériaux inflammables et les vêtements venir

en contact avec des surfaces chaudes.

Mesures de sécurité importantes

Lisez ces instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil.

Conservez ces instructions pour références futures.

Ce guide contient des instructions et symboles de sécurité importants. Veuillez faire particulièrement attention à ces

symboles et suivre les instructions données. Voici une brève explication de ces symboles.

Ce symbole vous prévient des situations qui risquent d’entraîner de graves blessures, la mort ou

des dommages matériels.

Ce symbole vous prévient des situations pouvant entraîner des blessures ou dommages matériels.

• Ustensiles vitrifiés: En raison des brusques

changements de température, on ne peut utiliser avec la

surface de cuisson que certains ustensiles en verre, en

vitrocéramique, en céramique ou en terre cuite, ou autres

ustensiles vitrifiés, sans risquer qu'ils se fendent. Vérifiez

les recommandations du fabricant quant à leur utilisation

sur une surface de cuisson.

• N'utilisez pas de couvercles décoratifs pour éléments

de surface. Si un élément est allumé, le couvercle risque

de chauffer et éventuellement de fondre. Vous ne verrez

pas que l'élément est allumé. Vous risquez de vous brûler

en touchant les couvercles. Aussi, il y a risque

d'endommagement de la surface de cuisson.

POUR SURFACE DE CUISSON AVEC ÉLÉMENTS

DE SURFACE AMOVIBLES SEULEMENT

• N'immergez pas et ne trempez pas les éléments de

surface amovibles. Ils se nettoient d'eux-mêmes lors d'un

fonctionnement normal.

• Assurez-vous que les cuvettes de propreté sont en

place, sinon les fils ou pièces se trouvant en dessous

risquent d'être endommagés par la cuisson.

POUR SURFACE DE CUISSON VITROCÉRAMIQUE

SEULEMENT

• Ne cuisinez pas sur une plaque de cuisson brisée. Si la plaque

se brise, les solutions nettoyantes et les éclaboussures peuvent

pénétrer dans la plaque de cuisson brisée, et créer un risque de

choc électrique. Communiquez avec un technicien qualifié

immédiatement.

• Nettoyez soigneusement la plaque de cuisson. Si une éponge

ou un chiffon humide est utilisé pour essuyer des renversements

sur une surface chaude, faites attention afin d'éviter de vous brûler

par la vapeur. Certains nettoyeurs peuvent produire de la fumée

nocive s'ils sont appliqués sur une surface chaude.

AVIS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANT

Le décret Californien de régulation des déchets toxiques et de la

qualité de l'eau potable demande au Gouvernement de la Californie

de rendre publique l'énumération des substances causant le cancer,

les malformations congénitales ou autres dommages de reproduction

connues à l'état, et exige que les entreprises avertissent leurs clients

des risques potentiels d'exposition à ces substances.

Mesures de sécurité importantes

Réglage des éléments de surface

Réglage de l'élément de surface

1. Placez le plat sur le foyer.

2. Enfoncez et tournez le bouton de commande de l'élément de surface au réglage désiré.

3. Un témoin lumineux s'allume aussitôt qu'un élément de surface est mis en marche. Éteignez

toujours l'élément de surface avant de retirer l'ustensil de l'élément de surface.

Les réglages suggérés dans le tableau ci-dessus ont été obtenus en utilisant des plats en aluminium

d’épaisseur moyenne ou élevée pour la cuisson, avec leur couvercle en place. Ces réglages peuvent être

différents lorsque d’autres types de plats sont utilisés.

Note:

La grosseur et le type d’ustensile utilisé, en plus de la quantité et du type d’aliment à

cuire influenceront le réglage nécessaire pour obtenir de bons résultats culinaires.

Ne déposez pas d’objets en plastique tels que salières et poivrières,

supports à cuillères ou emballages en plastique sur la surface de cuisson lorsqu’elle est

utilisée. Ces items peuvent prendre en feu ou fondre. Les poignées, serviettes ou cuillères en

bois peuvent prendre en feu s’ils sont trop près des foyers.

Témoins lumineux

Certains modèles possèdent un témoin lumineux pour chacun des

élémets, d'autres en possèdent un pour chaque paire d'éléments,

certains autres possèdent aussi un voyant pour tous les éléments. Le

témoin devient lumineux aussitôt qu'un foyer est allumé. Vérifiez si le

témoin devient lumineux aussitôt que vous tournez chacun des boutons

des commandes de foyer. Si le bouton est réglé à un très faible réglage

de chaleur , le témoin peut s'allumer même si aucune chaleur n'est

produite par le foyer. Si cela se produit, tournez le bouton à un réglage

plus élevé, jusqu'à ce que l'élément commence à chauffer. Quand la

cuisson est terminée, jetez un coup d'oeil rapide aux témoins lumineux;

c'est un moyen facile de vous assurer que tous les boutons de

commande ont été tournés au repère ARRÊT (OFF).

Réglage des éléments de surface

Modèles avec surface de cuisson en vitrocéramique (certains modèles)

À propos de la surface de cuisson en vitrocéramique

Des éléments électriques chauffants sont situés sous la surface de cuisson vitrocéramique. L’emplacement des éléments sur la

plaque de cuisson est clairement délimité par le design. Assurez-vous que le diamètre de la casserole est de dimension similaire

au diamètre des éléments.

La chaleur est propagée vers le haut, à travers la surface de la plaque de cuisson. N’utilisez que des ustensiles à fond plat. Le type

et la grosseur des ustensiles de cuisine, le nombre d’éléments utilisés et le réglage des éléments, sont des facteurs qui influencent

la quantité de chaleur qui s’étend aux zones autour des éléments. Celles-ci peuvent devenir suffisamment chaudes pour causer

des brûlures.

À propos des éléments de surface radiants

La température des éléments augmente graduellement et uniformément. Lorsque l’élément chauffe, ce dernier devient

rouge.Afin de maintenir la température désirée, l’élément s’allumera et s’éteindra automatiquement. L’élément retient assez

de chaleur pour continuer de fournir une température constante même lorsque ce dernier est éteint. Pour une

cuisson efficace, éteignez l’élément quelques minutes avant que la cuisson soit complétée.Ceci

permet à la chaleurrésiduelle de compléter le processus de cuisson.

NOTE:

Veuillez lire les instructions de nettoyage de la surface vitrocéramique à la section

Entretien & nettoyage et la section avant d’appeler le service dans ce manuel.

NOTE: Les éléments radiants possèdent un dispositif permettant à l’élément de passer d’allumé

à éteint automatiquement, afin de fournir le degré de la chaleur demandée. Ceci permet aussi de

protéger la vitre contre les dommages. Ce phénomène peut se produire au réglage maximum (HI),

ce qui peut signifier que le diamètre de l’ustensile est trop petit par rapport au diamètre de

l’élément ou bien que le fond de l’ustensile n’est pas plat. (Référez-vous à la section Ustensiles

pour la cuisson sur les élément on page 12).

NOTE: (Modèles avec une vitre blanche seulement). La vitre de la surface de cuisson

deviendra verte lorsque les éléments de surface seront éteints après avoir été utilisés à haute

intensité. Ce phénomène est normal et la vitre redeviendra à sa couleur originale lorsqu'elle sera

complètement refroidie.

Figure 1

(Table de cuisson typique 30"

montrée)

Voyant avertisseur de surface chaude (certains modèles)

Certains modèles possèdent un voyant avertisseur situé sous la surface vitrocéramique qui

s’allume aussitôt qu’elle devient chaude. Lorsque vous éteignez les foyers, le voyant demeure

allumé tant que la vitre est suffisamment chaude pour causer des brûlures. D’autres modèles

en possèdent un pour chaque foyer. Ils sont regroupés au même endroit que montré dans

l’illustration.

Réglage des éléments de surface

Réglage de l’élément radiant régulier (tous les modèles en vitrocéramique)

Votre appareil possède des éléments radiants réguliers.

Pour régler les éléments radiants simples:

1. Placez un plat de dimension approprié sur l’élément radiant.

2. Enfoncez et tournez le bouton de commande vers la gauche ou la droite selon le réglage désiré

(Figure 1). Tournez le bouton de commande pour ajuster le réglage si désiré. Débutez la plupart des

cuissons à la position la plus élevé et ensuite continuez la cuisson en réglant le bouton à un réglage

plus faible. Chacun des éléments de cuisson produit une chaleur constante. Si un halo rouge

déborde de l’ustensile de cuisson ceci indique que le diamètre de ce dernier est trop petit pour

l’élément utilisé.

3. Lorsque la cuisson est complétée tournez le bouton de commande à la position OFF (arrêt) avant

de retirer l’ustensile de l’élément. Note: Le témoin lumineux de surface chaudes situé sous la

surface en vitrocéramique s’allume lorsqu’un ou plusieurs éléments deviennent chauds et RESTE

ALLUMÉ jusqu’à ce que la surface de cuisson en vitocéramique soit refroidie de façon MODÉRÉE.Le

témoin lumineux peut demeuré allumé même si le bouton de commande est à la position OFF

(arrêt). Note: Voir la figure 2 de la page 5 pour les réglages recommandés.

Réglage des éléments radiants doubles (certains modèles en vitrocéramique)

Certains modèles possèdent 1,2,3 ou 4 éléments radiants doubles. Les niveaux

de chaleur sont ajustés à l’aide d’un bouton de commande spécial à deux séries

de graduations. Avec de petits ustensiles, utilisez les petits caractères (Figure 2);

seule la petite surface intérieure chauffera (Figure 4). Pour chauffer de grands

ustensiles servez-vous des graduations à gros caractères (figure 3); toute la

surface du foyer chauffera alors (Figure 5).

Pour régler les éléments radiants doubles:

1. Placez un plat de dimension approprié sur l’élément radiant.

2. Enfoncez et tournez le bouton de commande vers la gauche (Figure 2) pour

utiliser de petits ustensils ou vers la droite (Figure 3) pour utiliser des ustensiles

plus grands.

3. Tournez le bouton de commande pour ajuster le réglage si désiré. Débutez la

plupart des cuissons à la position la plus élevé et ensuite continuez la cuisson

en réglant le bouton à un réglage plus faible. Chacun des éléments de cuisson

produit une chaleur constante. Si un halo rouge déborde de l’ustensile de

cuisson ceci indique que le diamètre de ce dernier est trop petit pour l’élément

utilisé.

4. Lorsque la cuisson est complétée tournez le bouton de commande à la position

OFF (arrêt) avant de retirer l’ustensile de l’élément. Note: Le témoin lumineux

de surface chaudes situé sous la surface en vitrocéramique s’allume lorsqu’un
