cooking plate, as well as the power cords of other adjacent electrical appliances. In case
of signs of damage to the appliance, the power cord or the sealing, or if the glass plate
is broken, immediately unplug the appliance.

1. The longer you cook with a spill or food residue on the cooking surface, the harder it
will be to remove. Wait until unit is completely cool before cleaning (except for the
situation in item 2 below.) Some cleaners will produce harmful fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet sponges or cloths used to wipe spills from a hot cooking surface can cause
steam burns.

2. In case any plastic objects, aluminum foil, sugary mixtures,
etc. accidentally melt or spill on the glass ceramic cooking
surface, immediately turn the range off and remove cookware.
Let the surface cool slightly. While still quite warm, use a

hot mitt and a razor blade scraper held at a 30° angle to care-
fully scrape melted / spilled material away from the warm heating zone.
Allow cooking surface to cool completely before continuing with cleanup.

3. Unplug the range before cleaning. Never use oven sprays, stain-removers, ammonia,
bleach, abrasive scouring agents, steel wool, or treated nylon mesh pads for cleaning. For
maintaining the glass ceramic cooking surface, use one of the special Ceramic Glass
Cooktop cleaning /polishing/conditioning cremes available on the market. (Do not use
cleaners made for white cooktops; they will damage your unit.) Normal food residues can
be removed with a soft, damp cloth or untreated nylon mesh pad and some mild dishwashing
liquid or baking soda. Scrub gently, rinse with a damp cloth, and wipe dry.

4. DO NOT SUBMERGE THE RANGE OR LET THE HEAT CONTROL OR PLUG COME
IN CONTACT WITH WATER OR OTHER LIQUID! Make sure that no liquids or steam
seep into the underside of the range housing.

5. Avoid scratches on the glass ceramic cooking surface caused by pointed or sharp
objects. Protect the glass ceramic plate against breakage by falling objects.

and cleaning, should be performed by our Factory or PGS Commercial Equipment in

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit
cools.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse unit, cord or plug in water
or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing
the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the BroilKing Factory Service Department (call 860-738-2200
first) for examination, repair or adjustment. In Canada, call 860-738-2200.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. Place unit on a heat-resistant, stable and plain working surface. The space
above the appliance must be free and the distance from the wall must be
at least 4 on all sides to ensure unhindered air circulation.

12. Overheated fat or oil can ignite. This is why foods containing fat or oil must
be prepared under supervision only.

13. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when the pot or

pan

on it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.

14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the
finish of your unit.

15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

16. Do not use cooking containers consisting of inferior enamel, synthetic
material, china, or aluminum foil. DO NOT USE PLASTIC WRAP.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce

the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised
in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.

This unit is equipped with a grounded, 3-pronged commercial plug. For safety,
this plug MUST be connected to a 3 pronged outlet. Before connecting power,
make sure the outlets voltage and frequency correspond to the data plate on the
range (120 volts/60hz.)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Glass Ceramic Range
features, (Figure A):

Large Heating Zone
( 8.25diameter)

Residual Heat
Indicator Light

Temperature

Control Knob

2. This range is equipped with an automatic cooking system, i.e. it heats up to
each setting quickly with its maximum power and then maintains the temperature.

3. The Glass Ceramic Cooking Surface has a power-saving two-circle heating
zone, so you can match heating zone diameter to your pot/pan diameter for
maximum energy efficiency.

l

For activating the large heating zone ( 8.25diameter), turn the Temperature

Control Knob clockwise up to the symbol and then counterclockwise
back to the desired heat level.

l

For changing back to the small heating zone (5.5 diameter), turn the

temperature Control Knob counterclockwise to the OFF position (O) and
then clockwise back to the desired heat level 1-12.

l

Use the settings as follows:

1-5 - for warming up and keeping warm
4-9 - for moderate temperature cooking
8-12 - for high temperature cooking

4. The Power On Indicator Light on the lower right of the glass ceramic cooking
surface is lit up when the appliance is switched on.

5. The Residual Heat Indicator Light on the lower left of the glass ceramic cooking
surface warns you when the cooking surface is still hot after the unit is turned off.
It also makes you aware of the possibility of making use of the remaining residual heat.

6.

Only use pots or pans with a perfect, even bottom and an appropriate diameter.
If the pot bottom is uneven or too small, energy will be wasted. Do not use cooking
containers consisting of synthetic material, inferior enamel, china, or aluminum foil
in any form. If an aluminum pot or pan is used, it must not be allowed to boil dry,
or the pan will warp or melt and the range cooking surface will be permanently
damaged. Always use a pot, pan, or casserole dish for its intended purpose. Only
certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in temp­erature. Check the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

7. The glass ceramic cooking surface and the pot bottom must always be clean
and dry. Rough-bottomed cookware can scratch the ranges heating surface.

8. Cover cookware while in use whenever possible to avoid spatters on cooktop.

9. Do not place food directly on the cooking surface. Always use cookware.

10.During use the surfaces will get hot. Please use caution when handling the
appliance to avoid the risk of getting burned! Keep the power cord away from the
