cookware (See Figure 1).

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.

are available in most cookshop or hardware stores.

Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does

not extend beyond the heating element) may also be

used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok

making) or fat (frying).

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring

that extends beyond the surface element. Because

this ring traps heat, the surface element and cooktop

surface could be damaged.

For glass smoothtop models,



(without support rings) may

be used.

Wire trivets:

Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms

must be in direct contact with the surface elements.

CAUTION

DO NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is not equipped

with bridge element) 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 porcelain enamel

range surface, and damage to the surface elements and/

or damage to the drip pans (if equipped).

CAUTION

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use

extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid

to vent steam away from you.

Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:

1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that

extend more than one inch beyond the edge of the

burner grate.

2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on

high heat for an extended amount of time.

3. Alternate surface units between each batch to

allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool

down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner

unit all day.

Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are

destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When

canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil

must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Canning Tips & Information

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.

Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural

Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for

the latest canning information.

3. Center canner on the burner grate.

4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to

reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil;

then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to

maintain a constant boil.

5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)

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



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.



NOTE

Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning

section and Before You Call checklist section of this



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

OFF the element several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow

residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Types of the heating elements used

Your cooktop is equipped with radiant surface radiant

elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to

heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the

element wattage increases. Depending on model, three

types of heating units may be found under the ceramic

glass cooktop:

– Regular (single coil) radiant elements of various

diameters or shapes.

– Expandable type (double circuits) radiant elements of

various diameters or shapes.

– Bridge Expandable type (triple circuits) radiant

elements of various diameters or shapes.

CAUTION

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or

work surface.

Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.

Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface.

Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface

(without cooking utensil) is not recommended as

Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the

ceramic glass cooktop.



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).

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Operating the Dual Surface Radiant

Element (SpecicCeramicGlassCooktop

models only)

The cooktop is equipped with one or two dual radiant

surface element. Symbols around the knob are used to

indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat.

The small digits on the control knob indicate that only the

inner coil will heat (Fig. 1). The large digits on the control

knobs indicate that both inner and outer coils will heat

(Fig. 2). You may switch from either coil setting at any

time during cooking.

To Operate the Dual Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure 1

Operating the Warm Zone Feature

(Some Ceramic Glass Cooktop models only)

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



Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended

for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.

CAUTION

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

Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

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.

Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with

clean water and a cloth. A soapy, nylon mesh scouring pad may be used carefully on stainless

recommended. Do not use metal-type scouring pads on brushed chrome. This could cause

the brushed chrome to change to a yellowish tint. Rinse all cleaners before operating cooktop.

Bluish stains may result due to heat combining with the cleaning material and they cannot be

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &

Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is

essential to maintaining your Ceramic

glass cooktop.

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.

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning Recommendations for the

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly

to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-

abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the

entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned

thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly

to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-

abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure

as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the

cooktop for any other purpose.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning



ceramic glass cooktop.

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, then apply a few drops

of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

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

WARNING

Never leave covers on the coil elements as they could be

permanently damaged if turned on by accident.

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

CAUTION

When lowering the lift-up cooktop, grasp the sides with

drop or bend the cooktop when raising or lowering. This

could damage the surface.

• Donotusedirty

sponges, cloths or

paper towels, as they

can leave soil or lint on

the cooktop which can

burn and cause Special

Caution for Aluminum

Foil and Aluminum

Cooking Utensils

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.

Coil Elements Cooktop Cleaning &

Maintenance

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior

parts. Special care and cleaning are required for

maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Refer

to the General Care & Cleaning table for detailed

cleaning instructions.

Prior to cleaning the coil

elements make sure they

are cold and that control

knobs are set at OFF.

Never immerse the coil

elements in water.

To Remove and Replace Surface

Elements and Drip Bowls

(some models)

To Remove

1. Lift up edge of surface element across from terminal

end just enough to clear the edge of the drip bowl.

3. Lift the drip bowl up and out.

To Replace

1. Line up the opening of the drip bowl with the terminal plug.

2. Hold the surface element as level as possible and slide

the terminal end through the opening and into the

terminal plug.

3. Be sure the surface element is level to reduce the

hazard of pans sliding off the element.

has a support rod, lower the support rod, then gently

lower the cooktop into the frame.

• 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.

CAUTION

Be careful not to bend

terminal ends when replacing

elements after cleaning.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

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.

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 ltres 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 amber 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desustensilesdoiventêtretournées

vers l’intérieur, sans surplomber les éléments

adjacents,an de réduire les risques de brûlures, de

combustion et de renversement causés par le contact

involontaire avec l’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.

•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 vitriés, sans risquer qu’ils se fendent.

Vériez les recommandations du fabricant quant à leurs

utilisations 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 ls ou pièces se trouvant en dessous risquent

d’être endommagés par la cuisson.

POUR SURFACE DE CUISSON VITROCÉRAMIQUE

SEULEMENT

• Ne nettoyez pas ou ne cuisinez pas sur une surface

de cuisson brisée. Si la surface 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 qualié

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 an d’éviter de vous brûler par la vapeur.

Certains nettoyants peuvent produire de la fumée nocive

s’ils sont appliqués sur une surface chaude.

• Ne déposez pas d’ustensiles chauds sur la vitre

froide de la table de cuisson. Cela pourrait la briser.

• Ne faites pas glisser les plats sur la surface de

vitrocéramique. Ils peuvent causer des éraures en

surface.

• Ne laissez pas les plats s’évaporer à sec - Ceci peut

causer des dommages permanents tels que bris, fusion

ou marques sur la surface en vitrocéramique (Ce type de

dommage n’est pas couvert par la garantie).
