IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• Use Proper Pan Size — This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
between the cooktop and the backguard. Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use
extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven
element or interior of the oven.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should 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.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended — Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food.
Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop — If cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop with Caution — If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so
could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off
the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease
filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
• Cleaners/Aerosols — Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven
listed in this owner’s guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door — Stand to the side of the range
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove or replace food in the oven.
SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left in the
oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.

LOCKING THE FRONT ROLLERS
(some of the 30” models only)
If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some
models) to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling
legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
Oven Light
Do not turn the oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High
temperature will reduce lamp life.
On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is opened.
The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located on
or underneath the control panel.
On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.
THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.

Circuit Protection
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt fuse is provided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on top of
the control panel. To access the fuse(s) raise the control panel cover. Models with no electric outlet have no fuse.
Indicator Light
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units. Some
models have indicator lights only with the warmer zone and warmer drawer .
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the
individual heating unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating
unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.
When cooking is finished, a glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF.
Models with Touch Pad Control (only)
NOTE: When the oven is in a baking, convection baking, broiling or self-cleaning operation, a cooling fan may automatically
turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal and the fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.
Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
*GOOD
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan
Pans should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom. There should be no
gaps between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be
used in the oven or on the cooktop.
is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount of food to
be prepared and the size of the surface
element.
• Made of material that conducts heat
well.
• Easy to clean.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles
and pressure cookers may be used but must
conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
Setting Surface Controls (some models)
1. Place the pan on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface element control knob to desired setting.
3. The surface signal light will glow when one or more elements are turned on.
Always turn the element off before removing the pan.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking inmediumweight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Specialty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the heating element) may also
be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts
of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT use two
elements (if the cooktop is not
equipped with bridge element) to
heat one large pan such as a roaster
or griddle, or allow cooking utensils
to boil dry . The bottom surface of
the pan in either of these situations
could cause discoloring or crazing of
the porcelain enamel range surface,
and damage to the surface elements
and/or damage to the drip pans (if
equipped).
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with
a metal ring that extends beyond the
surface element. Because this ring traps
heat, the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged.
For glass smoothtop models, only flat
bottomed woks (without support rings)
may be used.
Canning Tips & Information
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with the surface elements.
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the
latest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the surface element.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain a
constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the surface element.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. T ry to avoid canning on the same element all
day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.

Oven Baking
For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat the
oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
Baking Problems and Solutions Chart
Baking
Problems
Cookies and biscuits
burn on the bottom.
Cakes too dark on
top or bottom.
Cakes not done in the
center.
Cakes not level.
Causes
• Cookies and biscuits put into the
oven before the preheating time is
completed.
• Oven rack overcrowded.
• Dark pan absorbs heat too fast.
• Cakes put into the oven before preheating time is completed.
• Rack position too high or low.
• Oven too hot.
• Oven too hot.
• Incorrect pan size.
• Pan not centered in oven.
• Range not level.
• Pan too close to oven wall or rack
overcrowded.
• Pan warped.
Corrections
• Allow oven to preheat to the selected temperature before
placing food in oven.
• Choose pan sizes that will permit 5.1 cm to 10.2 cm (2” to 4”)
of air space on all sides when placed in the oven.
• Use a medium-weight aluminum baking sheet.
• Allow oven to preheat to the selected temperature before
placing food in the oven.
• Use proper rack position for baking needs.
• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C lower than recommended.
• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C lower than recommended.
• Use pan size suggested in recipe.
• Use proper rack position and place pan so there is 5.1 cm to
10.2 cm (2” to 4”) of space on all sides of pan.
• Place a marked glass measuring cup filled with water on the
center of the oven rack. If the water level is uneven, refer to
the installation instructions for leveling the range.
• Be sure to allow 5.1 cm to 10.2 cm (2” to 4”) of clearance on
all sides of each pan in the oven.
• Do not use pans that are dented or warped.
Foods not done when
cooking time is up.
• Oven too cool.
• Oven overcrowded.
• Oven door opened too frequently.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and best baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 5.1 to 10.2 cm (2” to 4”) around
the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sur e pans do not touch each other, the door , sides or back of oven. The hot air must
circulate around the pans for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
• Set oven temperature 25°F/12°C higher than suggested and
bake for the recommended time.
• Be sure to remove all pans from the oven except the ones to
be used for baking.
• Open oven door only after shortest recommended baking
time.
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown.
If using one pan, place in center of oven.

Convection Cooking (some models)
NOTE: The convection fan automatically turns off when the oven door is opened while oven is in a convection
mode and resumes when the door is closed again.
The convection oven uses a fan located in the rear wall of the oven to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The
controlled air flow pattern quickly seals the food surface retaining the natural juices and flavour. This method of cooking enables
you to obtain the best culinary results when baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.
Convection notes:
1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures set at 13°C (25°F) lower than temperatures required for normal radiant cooking
methods. Refer to the electronic oven control operating instructions included in section “Electronic Oven Control Guide” of this
Use & Care Guide. This can result in considerable reduction of food shrinkage and more tender meats.
2. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.
3. Defrosting is quicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.
4. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection mode. Times
may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature.
Convection Roasting (some models)
When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters.
The roasting rack will hold the meat.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next-bottom rack position.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on
the grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or
cover the grid with aluminum foil.

Speed BakeTM Cooking System (some models)
Speed BakeTM Cooking System uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and
continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with
Speed BakeTM Cooking System are juicer . Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender and
moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven
can be cooked faster and more evenly with Speed BakeTM Cooking System.
Benefits of Speed BakeTM Cooking System:
- Foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
- Two racks can be used with mor e even cooking and br owning.
- No special pans or bakeware needed.
General Cooking Instructions:
1. To convert baking times from normal recipes to Speed Bake times, start with a 30%
reduction in time and increase the time until desired doneness is obtained. Time reductions
will vary depending on the amount and type of food.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking with Speed Bake, except with items such as
cakes, cookies, biscuits, breads, etc.
3. When using two racks at the same time, place them in positions 1 and 3 for the best results.
4. When baking cakes with Speed Bake, set temperature 25°F (13°C) degrees lower than the
recommended setting for best results.
To Set Speed BakeTM Cooking System:
1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Speed Bake may be used with Bake, Time Bake and Delayed Time Bake
modes.
2. T urn the Speed Bake switch to ON position. The indicator light will glow and the fan will come on. The
fan stays on when oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened. The fan will continue
to operate until baking is complete.
3. When using Speed Bake feature along with the Delayed Timed Bake mode, the fan will begin to operate
when the control is set. The oven elements will not begin to operate until the Delayed Start Time is
reached. This operation is normal.
4. To cancel Speed Bake function, push CANCEL on the oven control as you would to cancel any baking
function.

Broiling
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating.
Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) T o pr eheat, set the oven contr ol(s) to BROIL as instructed
in the Owner’s Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
to the “Broil Stop”

position when broiling.
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
Always pull rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
Always pull oven rack out
to the “stop” position before turning or removing
food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the distance from the
element, but on the thickness and aging of meat, fat content and doneness preferred. The first
side usually requires a few minutes longer than the second. Frozen meats also require additional
time.
Broiling Tips
Grid
The broiler pan and its grid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat
of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil.
The exposed grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven. If the fire
continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on
Broiler Pan
the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
• To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO NOT cover the br oiler grid with foil.
• To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads
because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
• Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may
scratch the grid.
Oven Settings
For oven settings, refer to the timer section or the electronic oven control.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop (some models)
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop
outlines the area of the surface heating unit below . Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed pans should be used. The type and
size of the cookware, number of surface units in use and the settings of the surface units are factors that will affect the amount of
heat that will spread to areas surrounding the units. The areas surrounding the units may become hot enough to cause burns.
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking
utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard. Never use the
griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.
Types of heating units used (some models)
Depending on model, three types of heating units may be found under the ceramic glass cooktop:
– Regular (single coil) radiant elements of various diameters or shapes.
– Expandable type (double circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.
– Bridge Expandable type (triple circuits) radiants elements of various diameters or shapes.
Regular radiant elements (some models)
The ceramic glass design shows the location of the heating surfaces.
Control knobs are used to set the heat power levels; knobs need first to be pressed in when at
OFF position, then turned to the desired heat settings.
A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking utensil indicates
the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. The hot
surface and surface indicator lights will glow.

graduations
Expandable radiant elements (some models)
This heating unit combines the characteristics of a small and a large regular radiant heating unit.
Its principal advantage is to allow small and large utensils to be used on the same heating unit,
therefore increasing the cooktop flexibility.
Heat power levels are adjusted by a special control knob that has a dual set of graduations; for
small utensils use the small graduations; the inner surface only will be heating. For larger utensils
use the larger graduations; the whole surface will be heating.
The hot surface and surface indicator lights will glow when the heating unit is turned ON.
Bridge Radiant elements (some models)
Its principal advantage is to allow you to create larger cooking zone for larger pan such as
roaster , griddle or some other specialty pans.
To use the bridge element, turn the control knob on left side, to the bridge element settings.
For full bridge element operation turn on the rear element.
T o use only the fr ont element, turn the control knob on right side, to the front element settings.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass.
The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines
the area of the surface element underneath.
Make sure the diameter of the pan matches
the diameter of the element outline on the
cooktop (see figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of
the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and
size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors
that will affect the amount of heat that will
spread to areas beyond the surface elements.
The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element
will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistant heat during the
off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface
Elements and Controls
Y our appliance is equipped with radiant sur face elements with differents wattage ratings.
The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The example shown (figure 2) describes a
model with all kind of elements you could
possibly have. We will take this example
all along this section, but the appearance
and graphics of your cooktop may be different. Figure 2 have a smaller 6 inch radi-
ant element located at the right rear position;
a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located
at the right front position; a Warmer Zone
radiant element at the center rear position;
and two 8 inch radiant elements located at
both the left front and rear positions. Located
between left front and rear elements is a
Bridge radiant element.
The Bridge radiant element is controlled using
the same knob that controls the left front radiant element position.

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) feature includes 4
digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital
setting for 4 of the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left front knob control position for both
the left front radiant element and the “Bridge” radiant element. Also
the right front control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant
element. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (figures 1 thru 4).
Figure 1
Figure 2
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo
(Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0 decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo (Simmer settings) decrease in
increments of .2 for more precise settings of lower heat levels.
Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the kind of
food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and
keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The
lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter .
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing “Er”) at power (or after a power failure) if ANY of
the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be sure to
set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (see figure 6). This will reset the surface
controls.
Be sure to reset the clock. Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions and the
clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the “Er” message remains in any display after
following these produces, contact an authorized Electrolux servicer.
ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. The ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active. Whenever the ESEC lockout feature is active, “- -” may appear in any display window (see figure 7). If
any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, “HE” will appear in the window instead of the “- -” message.

Operating the ESEC Bridge Surface Radiant Element (some models)
The cooktop is equipped with a “Bridge” surface element located at the left front and
middle positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or
oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both
portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a
single element without the Bridge.
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side of the
Bridge element control knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob
when operating the Bridge element. The symbol in figure 1 indicates that only the single
portion of the Bridge element will heat (see figure 3). The symbol in figure 2 indicates
that both the single and Bridge portions of the element will heat together (see figure 4).
Y ou may switch fr om either of these settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob counterclockwise to heat the portion of the
Bridge element for normal shaped cookware or clockwise for larger or rectangular
shaped cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. Turn the knob to adjust the
setting if needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element provides a constant amount of
heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom
edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small. Please note that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware. Note: The HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF if
the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the left rear single element
(see figure 5). Because these element have 2 different controls, one element can be used
to cook while the other element may be used to keep food warm.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
1) Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
2) Aluminum utensils
The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans
are used. If allowed to boil dry , not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of br eakage, fusing
or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings
on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch
the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do
not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook
foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Setting Warm Zone Controls (some models)
To Operate the warm zone
Y our appliance is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and
oven-safe dinner
All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality . For best r esults, when warming
pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic warp to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.
Unlike the surface elements, the warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will not be hot.
