Important Safety

Instructions

WARNING: Read all instructions before using this appliance. If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, take these precautions:

General Safety

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. See the Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.

Children 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.

When children become old enough to use the cooktop, they must be instructed in safe practices.

Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop.

Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.

In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with hot surface.

Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a surface element. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop.

If the cooktop is near a window, be certain that curtains or any other window covering do not blow over or near the elements; they could catch on fire.

When using the cooktop: Do not touch the surface units or the immediate surrounding area.

Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy spillovers may ignite.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, elements, or the edge of the cooktop.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while cooking.

Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.

Leave the hood ventilator on when flambéing food.

English 1

Smother flames from a grease fire with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.

Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.

Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

Fire Extinguishers

Use an extinguisher only if:

You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

The fire department is being called.

You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Element ‘ON’ Indicator Light

The element “ON” indicator light glows whenever any element is turned on. The

 

light remains lit until all of the elements are turned off.

 

The “ON” light is located in front of the control knobs.

 

For dual elements there is an additional "ON" indicator light located at the top left

 

of the control knob. This light glows when both the inner and outer elements are

 

being used and the element is on. When using a setting other than 9 (High), the

 

light will cycle on and off as the element cycles.

 

Figure 2 - On Indicator

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Each element features a hot indicator light to show when the cooking surface is

 

too hot to touch. The signal light will turn on automatically in the area marked

 

CAUTION - HOT at the center front. The light remains on until the cooking area

 

has cooled to a safe-to-touch temperature.

 

If a hot surface light is on, use caution when working or cleaning around the cook-

 

top as the cooktop is still hot.

 

Figure 3 - Hot Surface Indicator

 

Caution - Hot

Control Knobs

The controls on the cooktop are marked to show which element they control. All

 

controls are marked from 1-9, with 1 being the lowest heat setting and 9 the high-

 

est setting.

Using the Cooktop

Before Using the Cooktop for the First Time

Remove all packing materials and literature from the cooktop surface.

While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.

Apply the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® packaged with the cooktop. Buff with a clean cloth.

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

Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used.

The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot up to 25 or 30 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

Read all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information prior to operating.

English 3

Precautions for Long Life and Good Appearance of the Surface

Regular, daily care using the Cooktop Cleaning Creme® will protect the surface and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.

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 not allow plastic, paper, or cloth to come in contact with the hot glass surface; these items can melt or burn and damage the glass surface.

Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the cooktop.

Never cook food directly on the glass.

Avoid placing a wok support ring, trivet or other metal stand on the glass surface.

Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.

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

Do not place wet pans on the glass surface.

Operation

Radiant Elements

Single Element

Dual Element

This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass surface to provide the heat for cooking. Radiant elements will cycle on and off by design (see Temperature Limiters, below.) There are an infinite number of heat settings between the 1-9 positions.

To turn on a single element, push down on the control knob and turn in either direction to the desired heat setting.

The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be selected for use.

To turn ON the small, inner element, push down on the control knob and turn it clockwise. Set to desired heat level.

To turn ON both the inner and outer elements together, push down on the control knob and turn it clockwise past the number 9 setting to the dual element marker. The dual ON indicator light will glow indicating that the dual element is on. Turn the knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. To turn off the dual element, turn the knob to the OFF position.

Each radiant heating element has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The limiters will operate automatically by cycling the element off regardless of the cook setting.

Although cycling is normal, any one of the following conditions can activate the limiter and cause it to cycle on and off more than usual:

The base of the pan is not making full contact with the heating surface (due to a warped or uneven base).

The pan is too small for the size of the element.

The pan has boiled dry.

The material or shape of the pan is slow to transfer the heat.

CAUTION: The glass cooking surface retains heat and stays hot after the element(s) have been turned off. The retained heat may be used to hold foods at serving temperatures for a short time.

Note for Owners of White Cooktops When an element is hot, there is a light green tint on the cooking surface. This is

 

normal and will disappear after several minutes as the surface cools down.

Cooktop

 

Proper Cookware

 

Cookware Characteristics

The choice of pans directly affects the cooking speed and uniformity. For best

 

results select pans with the following features:

 

Flat Bases

 

When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface with-

 

out wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium-to-heavy-weight pans are best.

 

To test the flatness of your pans:

 

Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a ruler flat against the bot-

 

tom of the pan. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be

 

flush against each other.

 

Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bot-

 

tom is to place 1” (25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and

 

English 5

observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area.

Figure 6 - Testing Flatness

 

Diameter

 

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

 

used. Pans may overhang the element area by 1" (25.4 mm) all around.

 

Tight Fitting Lid

 

A lid shortens cooking time by holding the heat inside the pan.

 

Specialty Pans

 

Specialty pans, such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath

 

canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above.

 

(Use only a flat-bottom wok.) Never place a support ring, such as a wok ring or

 

trivet, on the cooking surface.

Cookware Practices

• Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or

 

dented bottoms should be avoided. See drawings above. • Make sure the bot-

 

tom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.

 

• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms. • Do not slide metal pots

 

across the cooktop. Pans may leave marks.

 

• Do not use glass pans as they may scratch the surface.

source. If your cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but

 

foods may take a little longer to finish cooking.

Care and Cleaning

Before Use Care

Care is easy when preventative steps are taken. For example, apply a small amount of Cooktop Cleaning Creme® (packaged with cooktop) 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 Creme® before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counterlevel surface between uses.

English 7
