IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface unit.

• Clean the appliance 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 on hood or

filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When
flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood

manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

o Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having fiat 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 element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
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

any part of the appliance. 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 short circuit.

®

Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without

breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop

use.

• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your
cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the
grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on

the hood or filter.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers,
If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative

cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also

be done to the appliance.

e Do Not Clean or Operate a 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 Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop
Glass, This could cause glass to break.

• Do not slide pan across the cooktop surface. They

may scratch the cooktop surface.

• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry, This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking
that can affect the ceramic=glass cooktop. (This type of

exposure to such substances,

Read these instructions carefully before
using the cooktop

INDUCTION ELEMENT CHARACTERISTICS
(RIGHT FRONT AND REAR ELEMENTS)

A COOLER COOl(TOP- A unique feature of the Induc-

tion Cooktop iswhether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop

surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
MAGNETIC DETECTOR- The coil sensor automatically

detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates ac-
cidental "turn-On."

PAN SIZE DETECTION- The pan recognition sensor
automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to

the pan sizes in use.

EFFICIENT- Induction cooking heats faster while using
less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and
when simmering.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned

ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass
sutrace may be NOT from residual heat transferred

from the cookware and burns may occur.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has inductors and 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 Figs. i to 4).
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,

Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning
section and Before You Call checklistsection of this

Use and Care Guide.

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 consistent 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.

Figure 1 = 30" Model

The surface elements are located on the 36" cooktop as
follows (Figure 2):

- Two 7 inch radiant elements are located at the left front

and rear positions.
One mid-position radiant element located between left

front and rear element. Connects with front element to
form Bridge element.

One 6 inch radiant element located at the center rear

position.

One 6 inch induction element located at the right rear

position.

One 10 inch induction element located at the right front

position.

Locations of the Surface Radiant &
Induction Elements

Your cooktop isequipped with radiant surface radiant
elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to
heat food quicker and in larger volumes increasesas the
element wattage increases.

The surface elements are located on the 30" cooktop as
follows (Figure 1):

- Two 7 inch radiant elements are located at the left front
and rear positions.

- One mid-position radiant element located between left

front and rear element. Connects with front element to

The Electronic Surface Element

Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control CESEC'_) includes

digital display windows. The ESECprovides a numeric digital
setting for the surface element positions on the cooktop.

These settings work the same way as normal knob setting

indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital
windows (Figs. 1 thru 8).

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESECcontrol provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)
to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF(Fig. 1). The settings between 9.5 and

3.0 decrease or increase in increments of.5 (1/2). The settings
between 3.0 and 1.2 are Simmer settings which decrease
or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 4; lowest
Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels.
Usethe Recommended Surface Setting Chart to determine the

correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.
Power Failure Indicator Message (PF)

When the range is first plugged in or when the power
supply to the range has been interrupted, the ESECcontrol
will display the message "PF" (Power Failure; See Fig. 7).

After a few seconds the "PF" message will disappear from
the display.

Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)

After using any of the element positions the cooktop will

become very hot. Even after turning the contro! knob to OFF,

the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESECcontrol

monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the
message"liE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop isstill

too hot to touch (See Fig. 5). If the lie message appears in
the window, the contro! can still be turned ON again for use.

Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will bedisplayed (glowing"Er") at power up

(or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs
were left in the ON positions (See Fig. 8). If a power failure
should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs

to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls.
The induction zones are equipped with a pot detection

system. If the controls are activated and the detection
system cannot find any pot on the zone, it will flash its
power level for 3 minutes. After flashing for 3 minutes, the

digital display will show an "Er" message.

Oncethe surface controls have been set to the OFF positions,
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 procedures,

contact your authorized servicer for assistance.

Power Boost Indicator Message (Pb)

When an induction zone is first set at Hi, the Power Boost
feature will turn on (see Fig. 6). The Power Boost feature

is used to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking
temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power Boost
feature will give you up to 139% power output for a set

amount of time (approx. 10 min).

Surface cooking settings

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the

type of food you are preparing.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence

the setting needed for best cooking results.

HIGH (HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil

and pan broiling.

MEDIUM HIGH Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat
(8-10) frying.

MEDIUM (6) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces

and gravies; steaming vegetables.

MEDIUM LOW Keep foods cooking; poaching and
(2 - 4) stewing.

Low( LO).................................Keep warm, melting and simmering: ................

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element

to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to

prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at

the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware

is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware
bottom is not fiat.

Operating the Single Surface Radiant

Elements

The cooktop has 1 or 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements:
the LEFT REAR position and the center rear position (on
the 36" model only). The left rear element may also be
used with the Bridge element (Figures i and 2).

To Operate the Single Radiant Surface
Elements

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 3).

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. 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 for the surface heating

area.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Operating the Bridge Surface

Radiant Element

The cookLop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface

element located aL the left front and middle (See Figures
1 & 2) 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 (See Figure 5). The ® symbol
indicates that only the front potion will heal (Fig. 3). The

symbol indicates that both front and middle portions

will heal (Fig. 4). You may switch from either coil setting
aLany Lime during cooking.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element"

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface
element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure
3 Lo heal the front portion of the Bridge element for
normal shaped cookware or in Figure 4 for larger or
rectangular shaped cookware.

3. 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.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination

with the left rear single element (See Figure 7). Because

these elements have 2 different controls, one element

can be used to cook while the other element may be
used to keep food warm.

1. Place the correctly sized cookware of the proper
material on the induction surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 3).

Note: Turning the knob to Hi from Off will activate the

Power Boost feature. The Power Boost feature is used
to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking

temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power
Boost feature will give you up to 139% power output
for a set amount of time (approx. 10 min).

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

Figure 1

Power Sharing

Your cookLop is equipped with two induction elements
within one heating section. The Cooking Zones are
powered by an independent induction inverter. The two
Cooking Zones in the heating section share the power of
the inverter. This is called Power Sharing.

For example, if pans are cooking food items on both
Cooking Zones, the last Power Level set will be maintained,
while the first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting. The element ON indicator light will
turn GREEN when power sharing is enabled.

POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set the power level
for the food item you wish to maintain last (See Fig. 4).

Use the Correct Cookware Type

For the induction zones, the magnetic Cooking Zone
sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use
of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start

the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.

When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically
identified by the manufacturer for use with Induction
cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether

the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the

bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for
Induction cooking (See Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

It is recommended to always use heavier high quality
stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop
surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing

scratches on the ceramic surface.

Use the Correct Cookware Size

The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop

require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location.
The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the
correct MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom must FULLY
cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.

The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to
determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the
cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does

not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the
glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the

metal cooktop trims.

Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface,
especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type
of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup
of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Operational Noise

The electronic processes involved with Induction Cooking

create some unusual background noises. These noises
are normal and part of the Induction Cooking process.

Please note that these noises are more noticeable while
cooking at the Power BOOST level. Very loud noises are

not part of normal Induction Cooking.

If a pan made of the correct material iscentered properly
on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL,

the power level will flash in the in the digital display and

the pan will not heat. After 3 minutes, an "Er" error code

w!!l be d!sp!ayed unti! the contro!s are set to OFF- .........................................

Cookware Recommendations

Be sure to follow the following recommendations for
using cookware as shown:

INCORRECT

CORRECT

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have
fiat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to
follow all the recommendations for using cookware.

- Cookware not centered on
Cooking Zone surface.

o Curved or warped pan

bottoms or sides.

N-_ Min. size --_

* Pan does not meet the

minimum size required for
the Cooking Zone used.

Pan bottom rests on cook-
top trim or does not rest

completely on the cook-
top surface.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

Cookware centered cop

rectly on Cooking Zone

surface.

Flat pan bottom & straight

sides.

14- Min. size-4

Pan size meets or exceeds

the recommended minimum
size for the Cooking Zone.

-Pan rests completely on
the Cooktop surface.

Pan is properly balanced.

Fig. 1

Figure 2

Also remember to:

- Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking.
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat

distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
The pan size should match the amount of food being

prepared.
Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent

damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that
can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is

not covered by your warranty).
Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use

pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

- The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while
turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The
glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred
from the cookware and burns may occur.

- DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of
the ceramic cooktop.

- DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly
with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to
protect hands from burns.

ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1

may be detectedby thesensorslocatedbelowtheceramic

cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of
these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will

not heat indicated by a flashing power level in the digital

display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before
attempting to reactivate the cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic

surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will

make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the
glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop

Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop isCOOL, REMOVESPILLOVERS

cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines, Do not use

harsh scrubbing cleaners. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before
wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Only use kitchen cleaners
that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the
cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be

removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the fiat sides of both the knob
and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &
Haintenance

glass cooktop,

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the

ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth
or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from

cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches

and abrasions.

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, or they may crack it.

Cleaning Recommendations for the
Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic g!ass surface: ....................................................................

For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-
abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the
entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly
to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-
abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure
as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if
spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface.

Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After
turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on

soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass
cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,

such as metal and some nylon pads, They may
scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to

dean,

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine

bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may

etch or discolor the cooktop,

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper

towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the

cooktop which can burn and cause Special
Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum

Cooking Utensils

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you
use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specifically designed for

ceramic glass cooktop.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the
surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a few drops
of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not

use under any circumstances.

than that of other metals, care must be taken when
aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry
may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing
to, or marking it.
