Storage in or on Appliance

Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires

Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Use Only Dry Potholders

Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Use Proper Pan Size

This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also

improve efficiency.

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings

Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place

Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Protective Liners

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Glazed Cooking Utensils

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, 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.

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements

Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top

If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Element and Control Setting

SINGLE RADIANT ELEMENT

This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass surface to provide the heat for cooking. There Elements will cycle on and off by the its own temperature limiters.

Temperature limiters

Each radiant heaters has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiter will operate automatically by cycling the element the cycles as defined by knob setting (HI-LO)

DUAL RADIANT ELEMENT (if present)

The dual element consist of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small (inner element) or both (inner and outer) elements may be selected for use. There are an infinite number of heat setting between the LO and HI position. Fixed position are found at LO and HI to define minimum and maximum heat setting.

To turn ON the inner element, push down on the control knob and turn it counter clockwise following the single line graphics.

To turn ON both inner and outer elements together, push down on the control knob and turn clockwise following the double graphics line.

Setting Recommended Use

All these settings are recommended without the element being preheated, a range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depend on:

Electric Cooktop Operation

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME

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.

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

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.

There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this is normal and will disappear.

Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware being selected and used.

The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

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.

Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass surface.

Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and /or cooktop.

Never cook food directly on the glass.

Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass

Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.

ENGLISH

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

Aluminium: heats and cools quickly frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal markings on glass.

Cast Iron: heats and cools quickly Not recommended. Retains excessive heat and may damage cooktop.

Copper: tin heats and cools quickly gourmet. cooking, lined wine sauces, egg dishes.

Enamel ware: response depends on base Not recommended, metal 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 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:

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.

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.

UseInstallation& Care Manual

ENGLISH

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.

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.

CONTROL KNOBS

Pull up to remove the knob using the towel for leverage. Wipe with hot, soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not soak!
