Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

•

WARNING: NEVER cover

any slots, holes or passages

in the oven bottom or cover

an entire rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Doing

so blocks airflow through the

oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning.

Aluminum foil linings may

also trap heat, causing a fire

hazard.

•

CAUTION: Do not store

items of interest to children in

cabinets above a range or on

the back guard of a range

– children climbing on the

range to reach items could

be seriously injured.

•

Do Not Leave Children Alone

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

•

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE

UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS – Surface units may

be hot even though they

are dark in color. Areas near

surface units may become

hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials

contact surface units or

areas near units until they

have had sufficient time to

cool. Among those areas are

the cooktop and surfaces

facing the cooktop.

earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for

range-top service without

breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

•

Utensil Handles Should Be

Turned Inward and Not

Extend Over Adjacent

Surface

Units – To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable

materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with

the utensil, the handle of a

utensil should be positioned

so that it is turned inward,

and does not extend over

adjacent surface units.

•

Clean Cooktop With Caution –

If a wet sponge or cloth is used

to wipe spills on a hot cooking

The ceramic cooking area will glow red when a heating element is on. Some parts

of the cooktop may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal. The

cooking area cycles off and on, even when set to HI , to keep the cooktop glass

from overheating. It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to

change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return

to its original color.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching and to

condition to the cooktop surface, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass

cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. All of

the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop are available

at most grocery stores. See the “Range Care” section for additional information.

•

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using

them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

•

Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard

object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.

Cooktop Use

Control Panel

14

•

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As

the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the

cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

•

For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as

possible. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the

cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

•

Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.

•

While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the

surface is still warm.

•

To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.

Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware

could leave scratches or marks on the cooktop.

•

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop.

They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

•

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt,

such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

•

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

BEFORE USE

1. If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.

2. Clean your glass top. 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.

3. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front burners and turn them on HI

heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the front burners.

4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear burners and turn them on HI

heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn off the rear burners.

NOTES:

•

This procedure evaporates any protective oils and humidity collected

during the manufacturing process, and enables the electronic control

circuits to operate properly.

•

There may be a slight odor during the first several uses: this is normal

and will dissipate.

•

The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes

after the elements have been turned off.

HEATING ELEMENTS

NOTES:

•

For fastest boiling with pots 10" (25.4 cm) and larger, use the Even-Heat™

(Triple-ring) element with all elements set to “Hi.”

•

For best low heat performance with pans 10" (25.4 cm) and larger,

use the Dual-Size element set to “Single Lo.”

•

For best melting performance with small pans, use the Even-Heat™ element.

HOT SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT

On ceramic glass cooktops the Hot Surface Indicator lights are located on the

glass cooktop.

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any cooking area is too

hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

DUAL-RING COOKING ELEMENT

The Dual-Size Cooking Element offers the flexibility to use larger cookware.

•

Single-size elements can be used in the same way as a regular element.

•

The dual-size combines both the single and outer element and is

recommended for larger size cookware.

•

Do not use the Warming Zone element to heat cold foods.

•

The Warming Zone element can be used alone or when any of the other

surface cooking areas are being used.

•

The Warming Zone element area will not glow red when cycling on. However,

the hot surface indicator will glow while the Warming Zone element is in use.

•

Use only cookware recommended for cooktop use.

•

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming baked goods

allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

•

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food because the plastic wrap may melt.

•

Use pot holders to remove food.

COOKWARE

The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and

uniformity). For best results, select pans with the following features.

Flat Base

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy

efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could

cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

•

Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light

should be visible between it and the cookware.

•

Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion

channels can be used.

Cooktop Use

18

Match Pan Diameter to Element

The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

•

Aluminum: heats and cools quickly. Frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal

markings on glass.

•

Cast Iron: on a glass cooktop heats and cools slowly, but retains heat and

cooks evenly.

•

Copper: tin heats and cools quickly. Best used for gourmet cooking,

wine sauces, egg dishes.

•

Enamel ware: response depends on base metal. Not

recommended. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.

•

Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too

slowly. Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.

•

Stainless Steel: heats and cools moderately. Soups, sauces,

vegetables, and general cooking.
