SeMecting Surface Cooking UtensiMs

Forbest result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these caracteristics:

Pans should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface ele-

ment 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 instruc°

tions_ Some utensils were not made to be

used in the oven or on the cooktop

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for useon your cooktop are available in

most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-bottomed woks (with a

support ring that does not extend beyond tile heating element) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely

when it isfilledwith large amountsof

liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Pan is smaller than element,

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.

I)0 NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is not equipped with bridge element) to heat one large pan such asaroaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils

to boil dry. Thebottom surfaceofthe

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 tile drip pans (if equipped).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire

trivets. Cookware bottoms must be

in direct contact with the surface elements.

For glass smoothtop models, only flat bottomed woks (without support rings) may be used.

Canning Tips & Information

Canning can gener-

ate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you.

1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glassjars 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 aslow aspossible 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 leavewater 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. Tryto 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.

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. Makesurethe diameter of the pan matchesthe diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (SeeFigure 1). Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Onlyflabbottom cookware should be used. Thetype

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 areasbeyond 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 heatto provide auniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking iscomplete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and

Controls Your range is equipped with radiant surface elements with

different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increasesas the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:

Model A shown Only

Figure 2

NOTE; Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HIsetting. Thishelps

to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling attile

HIsetting is normal and can occur if the cookware istoo small

for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat

(Refer to page 6 under Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils).

NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass surface will turn green when

the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal

and the glasswill come back to its original white color after it has completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).

Model A (See Figures 1and 2):

- A 6 inch radiant element at the right rear position;

- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position (See page 12);

- Two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear positions.

- Between left front and rear elements is a Bridge radiant element. The BRIDGEradiant element is controlled using the sameknobthat controls the left front radiant element position. (See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using

BRIDGEradiant element)

Mode/B (see Figure 1):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements atthe right and left rear position;

- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A Warmer Zone radiant element at the center rear position (See page 12);

- A 8 inch radiant element located at the left front position.

Mode_ C(see Figure I):

- Two 6 inch radiant elements one atthe right rear position and

the other at the left front position;

- A dual 6or 9 inch radiant element at the right front position;

- A 8 inch radiant element located at the left rear position.
