SAFETYPRE CAUTIONS
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or clodl is used to wipe spills on a hot smfh(e uni< be ( >_refiJ to _void stemn burns.
Some cleansers can produce noxious fhmes if applied to a hot surf_ce.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surf_ce mlit areas undl alley have cooled
and the indicator ligb has gone off. Sugar spills are die excel)don to dlis. Please see die (;lass Cooktop Cleaning secdon.
When die cooktop is cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to (;lean die cooktop.
Do not operate the surface units if the glass is broken. Spillovers 05 cleaning soludon umy
penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technhJan if your glass cooktop breaks.
Do not touch the surface units. These surf_ces may be hot enough to bmn even
though alley are dark in color. During and afier use, do not touch, or let clodling or
odler flammable materials comac< die surf_ce mJts or areas nearby surfi_ce mlits; allow sufficient dine for cooling first
Potentially hot su(ti_ces include tile cooktop and areas fi_cing the cooktop.
°Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on tire.
°Use proper pan slze-select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to (;over die sm__ce unh's headng area. The use ofundersized
cookware will expose a pordon of the smf_ce unit to direct contact and may result in ignidon of clodling. Proper relationship of cookware to sm__ce mlh will also improve efficiency. See die Cookware Tips secdon of
dlis manual.
. Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramlc,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
"To minimize the possibility of burns, ignidon
of flammable materials an d spillage, ttle handle of a container should be turned
toward tile center of tile cooktop widlom extending over nearby smf_ce units.
°Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance aw_y from your cooktop.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance away
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food on the cooktop when not in use.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop (;an be s(ratched widl items such as
sharp instruments, rings or odler jeweky and
°Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
°Do not place or store items on top of the glass
cooktop surface when it is not in use.
°Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surf]_ce when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause burns.
°Avoid heating an empty pan. l)oing so may
damage die cooktop and die pan.
°Do not allow water, other liquids or grease
to remain on die cooktop or comrol panel.
°Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFE TY F'RE CA UTIONS
°To minimize the possibility of bums, always
be certah_ that the (ontrols for all surface units are at the OFF position, that the
( ooktop is locked and that the endre glass smf_ce is cool before attempting to (:lean the (ooktop.
"Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distan(e away from your t ooktop. They mW bet tree hot and
could cause bmns.
"Never heat unopened food containers.
Pressure buildup may make container burst and cause injury.
Teach children not to play with controls or any other part of the cooktop.
"Always rum the surface unit controls off
before removing the cookware,
"Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating
of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fi_t flyer. Wait umil the fat is cool.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too ti_ll of fi_t(:an cause spillovers when food is added.
°If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before beating, or as L_ts melt slowly.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to p_evem overbearing fat beyond the smoking point.
°Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your cooktop.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, (to uot apply the (:leaning cream to
the glass surfi_ce when it is hot,
After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all the cleaning cream residue.
°Read and follow all instructions and wamlngs

How to
check pan
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The correct cookware reduces the temperature
of the cooktop surtime and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop.
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have om'ed or rounded bottoms or may be warped. Ifyou are unsure of the flatness of your pans you may do this quick test.
Turn your pan upside down on tile cotmtertop,
place a ruler fiat against the pan snrthce. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should fit flush against each other all the
way across. Turn the ruler a tifll 360 degrees,
checking fin any space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.
Another simple test to determine even heat
distribution across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water in the pan. Bring the water to
a boil and observe the location of bubbles as the
water starts to boil. Good fiat cookware will have
an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surtime area of the pan. Bubbles localized in
only a portion of tile bottom indicate uneven contact of tile pan to tile surthce unit, uneven heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.
Use pans that match tile diameter of tile surfilce unit. Cooking performan(e will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than
the surlace unit.
Panswith rounded, curved, ridged or warped
bottoms are not recommended.
Checkpans for flat bottoms by
using astraight edge.

For best
results
Place rmly (hT pans rm the surface units. Do not plate lids rm the surfil(e units, partk ularly
wet lids.
Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface units.
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the
surface unit to insure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep tat flyers, etc. All cookware must have
fiat bottoms and be the correct size.
Do not placewet pans on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop.
Use fiat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.
Special cautions
for glass
coohtops
Never cook directly rm the glass. Ahvays use cr)okware.
Ahvays place the pan in the center r)f the surface unit you are cr)oking rm.
Do not slide cookware across the cr)oktop be(ause it can scrat(h the glass-the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Don't store hea'_T items above the cooktop. If they drr)p rmto the (ooktop, they (an cause damage.

following"
points in
canning
Note: Flat-bottomed canners are required
for glass cooktops
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of tile surihce unit's circle are not recommended ii)r most
smthce cooking. However, when canning _dth water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmflfl to the cooktop surthces surrounding
the surfhce units. HOWEVER, DO NOT USE I,ARGE
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER L4RGE DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR
BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures-and all types of tiying-cook at temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass cooktop surtace.
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surthce unit. If your cooktop or its location
does not allow the canner to be centered on the surthce unit, use smaller diameter pots
tot good canning resuhs. Flat-bottomed canners nmst be used. Do not
use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms
(often fimnd in enamehvare) because they don't make enough contact with the surtace
units and take a long time to boil water.
.
When canning, use recipes and procedures tiom reputable sources. Reliable recipes
and procedures are available tiom the manuthcmrer of your canner; manutacmrers
of glass jars tot canning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agricuhure Extension Service.
Right! Wrong!
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam.
To avoid burns flom steam or heat, be caretul when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been careflflly tollowed. The process time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and (2) starting with HOT tap water for tilstest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms 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.
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.
If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the surface unit can overheat, triggering the
temperature limiter to cycle the unit off for a time. This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure in the canner.
What is a
temperature limiter?
The cooktop surthce units have temperature limiters that prevent the glass cooktop flom
getting too hot.
The Temperature I,imiter may cycle the units
off ti)r a time if:
The pan boils (hy.
The pan bottom is not fiat.
The pan is off center.
There is no pan on the unit. 15
