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.

cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur

if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done

to the appliance.

Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If

= 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.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located

below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktopoutlines 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. 1 & 2).

Heat istransferred up through the surface of the cooktopto the cookware. Only fiat-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.

Locations of the surface radiant

elements

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

wattage increases. The radiant surface elements are located on the 30"

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.

30" Cooktop The radiant surface elements are located on the 36" cooktop as follows:

One dual 9 or 12 inch element located at the center

right position. One 6 inch element located at the center rear position. One keep warm zone located at the center front position.

Two 7 inch radiant elements located at both the left front and rear position.

One mid-position radiant element located between left front and rear elements. Connects with front element to

form Bridge element.
