food only if there is smoke without flames.
Use an extinguisher only if
x You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
x The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
x The fire department is being called.
x You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
x Never use water on cooking fires.
x In the event that personal clothing catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish
flames.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burn injuries during
cooktop use, observe the following:
x Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
x Children or pets should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where appliances are in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or on the backguard of a range;
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
When using the cooktop
x Do not touch surface units or areas near
units. Surface areas may become hot enough
to cause burns. Surface elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch or let flammable
materials contact heating elements until they
have had time to cool.
When using the cooktop installed over oven
x Do not touch heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven. Heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns –
among these surfaces are (identification of
surfaces – for example, oven vent openings
and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors).
x To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the

This kind of electric heating elements use a ribbon wire
located under the glass surface to provide the heat for
cooking. The heating elements will cycle on and off,
depending on the power level set and displayed by the
control.
Temperature limiters
Each radiant heater has its own temperature limiter to
protect the glass cooking surface from extremely high
temperatures. The limiter will operate automatically by
cycling the element.
Multiple heating elements (dual or triple) consist in
two or three radiant ribbon elements within the same
heating area. Either the small (main inner element)
or the outer ones may be selected for use. The inner
elements always work when an outer one is selected.
A special multiple heating element consist in two
independent radiant ribbon elements which can be
connected enabling a bridge element in order to have a
large heating area.
When the bridge is enabled, the whole area work as
a single unit, it’s not possible anymore to set different
power levels on the three elements connected.
All the settings described in the following table are
recommended, provided that the element has not been
preheated before. The values in the table represent
indicative settings, given that the actual values may
depend on:
• Type and quality of the pan.
• Type, quantity and temperature of the food.
• Element used and individual preferences.

was set on the cooking zone and the time the heating
element has been working for.
For example, a cooking zone that has been working for
more than 5 minutes at full power will take half an hour
to cool down before the Residual Heat indication fades
away. At level 1 it will take about 10 minutes.

Electric Cooktop Operation
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR
THE FIRST TIME
x All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process.
x If present, remove all packing and literature from
the cooktop surface.
x Clean your glass top before the first time you use
it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is
recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a
clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its
initial use.
x There may be a slight odour during the first
several uses: this is normal and will disappear.
x Optimum cooking result depends on the proper
cookware being selected and used.
x The cooking surface will hold the heat and
remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements
have been turned off.
x The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if
a pan or other object is dropped on it.
x Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it
will melt and damage the glass surface.
x Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage
the pan, element and /or cooktop.
x Never cook food directly on the glass.
x Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it
may scratch the glass
x Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is
not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and
may result in cooktop damage.
ENGLISH
Use & Care Manual

Cookware
GENERAL
The choice of pan directly affects the cooking
performance (speed and uniformity) for best result
select pans with the following features.
Flat base
When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom)should rest
evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking).
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight
side, a well fitting lid and the material should be of
medium to heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
Match Pan Diameter to radiant element
The base of the pan should cover or match the
diameter of the element being used.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Cooking Utensil Guidelines
x Aluminium: heats and cools quickly frying,
braising, roasting. May leave metal markings on
glass.
x Cast Iron: heats and cools quickly Not
recommended. Retains excessive heat and may
damage cooktop.
x Copper: tin heats and cools quickly gourmet.
cooking, lined wine sauces, egg dishes.
x Enamel ware: response depends on base Not
recommended, metal Imperfections in enamel
may scratch cooktop.
x Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly not
recommended. Heats too slowly. Imperfections in
enamel may scratch cooktop.
x Stainless Steel: heats and cools at moderate
soups, sauces, rate vegetables, general cooking.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN
CANNING
Pots that extend beyond 1 of the surface unit's circle
are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water temperatures (even
under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop
surfaces surrounding the surface units.
However, do not use large diameter canners or
other large-diameter pots for frying or boiling
foods other than water.
Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all types of frying,
cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass
cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner fits over:
x the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or
its location does not allow the canner to be
centered on the surface unit, use smaller
diameter pots for good canning results.
x Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don't make
enough contact with the surface units and take a
long time to boil water.
ENGLISH
Use & Care Manual
16
x When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for
canning, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the
United States Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
x Remember that canning is a process that
generates large amounts of steam. To avoid
burns from steam or heat, be careful when
canning.
CAUTION
Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
for the required time. When canning foods in a
pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained
for the required time.
After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
important to make sure the prescribed boil or
pressure levels are maintained for the required time.
Since you must make sure to process the canning
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in
processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface
unit if your canner is not flat.
Special pans
Special pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure
cookers, woks, water (Use only a flat-bottom wok).
CAUTION
Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed
directly on the glass ceramic surface for cooking;
aluminum foil can melt and cause permanent
damage.
CAUTION
Plastic, paper, and cloth can melt or burn when in
contact with a hot surface. Do not let these items
come in contact with the hot glass.

Cleaning the Cooktop
CAUTION
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are
cool before cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Apply a small amount of cooktop cleaning specific
ceramic crème on a daily basis. this provides a
protective film that makes it easy to remove water
spots or food spatters. The temperature of the cooking
surface reduces the protective qualities of this
cleaner.
It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean
cloth and apply cooktop cleaning crème before each
use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on
the counter level surface between uses.
