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
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.

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 depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used.
Models ECCB / TCCB ENGLISH
• 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.

Use & Care Manual
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.

Use & Care Manual
• 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.
Models ECCB / TCCB ENGLISH
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.
