IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using },our cooktop

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam, Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch

hot cooking areas,

This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different sizes. Always use utensils
that have flat bottoms and that are large enough
to cover the whole cooking area. The use of a

utensil smaller than the size of the cooking area
will expose a portion of the heated area to direct

contact with the user which could result in burns.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also

improve efficiency.

Turn handles of utensils inward so that they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking
areas, or the edge of the cool<top. This will help
prevent hot food spills, risk of burns and ignition
of flammable materials, and preventing access by

children.

" Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when

necessary. Use low to medium settings to heat oil

slowly.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat

fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when using
high heat settings. Boi[overs can cause smoke and
possibly damage the cooktop.

. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement

of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

Other than the use of metal pans, only certain types
of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable

for cooktop use.These types of utensils may break

with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low

or medium heat settings according to the utensil
manufacturer's directions.

The cooktop is for cooking. Never use itto warm
or heat a room.

Be sure your appliance is propermy installed
and grounded by a qualified servicer in

accordance with the |nstamlation
instructions provided with the cooktop.

Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended

in this manual AH other servicing should

be referred to a qualified servicer.

Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for
the type and amount of food being prepared.

Do not place any hot cookware on the control
panel area.

Clean the cooktop with caution. If the soil must
be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the

hot top with the metal razor blade scraper only.
Do not use a wet sponge or cloth while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied

to a hot surface.

Clean the ventilation system above or behind the
cooktop frequently so that grease from the

cooking vapors does not accumulate on the filters,

fan, intake, or hood.

For people who wear electronic implants such
as a pacemaker or insulin pump, it is possible that

some implants may be affected by magnetic fields.

You should not carry the control knob (inTwisT
dial) in your pockets. The control knob is highly
magnetic and persons wearing electronic implants
should keep the control knob at least four inches

from the implant.

the cooktop surface.

While cool, wipe with a clean, damp sponge and

dry.

" Apply the Cool<top Cleaning Creme @ packaged

with the cool<top. Buff with a clean cloth. (See

Page 9 for daily care instructions.}
There may be a slight odor during the first several

uses;this is normal and will disappear.

° Optimum cooking results depend on the proper

cool<ware being selected and used. (See Page 7.)

° 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.

Precautions for LongLifeand Good Appearance of
the Surface

Regular, daily care using the Cool<top Cleaning
Creme will protect the surface and make it easier

to remove food soil and water spots.

" The ceramic glass 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.

Genera[ Operation of Cooktop
The cooktop uses touch pads and a magnetic dial to
operate the cooktop.When touching the glassof atouch
pad, such as an dement or function pad, use the flat
part of the finger and touch the center of the pad. A
beep will sound when touching any of these pads.

rnTwisT Dial
The cod<top uses a mTwisT magnetic dial to select

the desired heat setting. The inTwisT dial is held onto
the cool<top by a strong magnet and automatically

positions itself in the center of the dial location when
placed on the cooktop.

Note: If the dial is removed from the cooktop when

in use, all elements will be turned off. The cool<top is
locked and the Panel Loci<light comes on. (See Setting
Panel Loci< on Page 6.)

E[ement'ON' indicator Light
The area above the dement touch pad being used

will show the cool< setting when the dement is on.
When the element is turned off, the hot surface

indicator comes on in this area. (See Hot Surface
Indicator Light below).

Hot Su_ace indicator Light
Each element features a hot indicator light to show

when the cooking surface is too hot to touch. A

letter H will appear above the element touch pad.
The light remains on until the cooking area has cooled to a
safe-to-touch temperature.

Ifa hot surface light is on, use caution when working or
cleaning around the cooktop as the cooktop is still hot_

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.

The Elements/Setting the Controls

Radiant Emements
Bosch UitraSpeed TH radiant elements use a wire

ribbon located under the ceramic glass surface to
provide the heat for cooking.These radiant elements

will cycle on and off by design (see Temperature

Limiters, below.) There are 9 heat setting positions

from 9 (high) to I (low) and a speda[ setting for keep

warm.

Dua[ Emement

The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon

elements within the same heating area. Either the small
inner dement or both the inner and outer elements

may be selected for use, depending on the size of
cookware. (See page 7.)

Temperature Limiters
Each UltraSpeed heating dement has its own sensor

to protect the glass cooking surface from extreme

high temperatures. The limiters will operate

automatically by cycling the element on and off

regardless of the coot< 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.

Cookware Characteristics

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

following features:

I. Flat Bases - When a pan is hot, the base (pan

bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without
wobbling (rocl<ing). Flat, medium to heavy-weight

pans are best.

I m_::._ I

_-_ ,_:...:..

Coolovare Tips

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

should be avoided. See drawings above.
Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being

To test the flatness of your pans
Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place
a ruler flat against the bottom 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 cool<ware bottom is to place

I" of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and

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.

2. Diameter - The base of the pan should cover or

match the diameter of the element being used.

Pans may overhang the element area by I" all

around.

3.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 fiat-bottom wok. Never place a

support ring, such as a wok ring or trivet, on the
cooking surface.

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. (See Page 9 for cleaning.)
Do not use glass pans as they may scratch the

surface.

Foods packaged in aluminum foil should not
be placed directly on the glass ceramic surface for

cooking; aluminum foil can melt and cause perma-
nent damage.

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
ceramic surface.

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

the cool<top glass.

Cleaning

Care Before Use

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 cleanem: It must be reappmied 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 cooktop surface between uses.
