Do not store items of interest to children above the cooktop-children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

• Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the room.

• Do not touch surface elements. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even

though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other ﬂammable materials contact the surface elements or areas nearby the surface elements; allow suﬃcient time for cooling ﬁrst.

• Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

HEATING ELEMENTS

The ceramic glass cooking surface will glow red when an element is on. Some parts of the cooking surface may not glow red when an element is on. This is normal operation.

Each radiant element has its own temperature limiter (sensor) to protect the ceramic cooking surface from extreme high temperatures. The temperature limiter will cycle the element on and o to maintain the selected heat level.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) outside the area.

COOKTOP USE

It is normal for the surface of ceramic glass to appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot. As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage from pitting or scratching and to

condition the cooktop surface, clean the cooktop after each use. Ceramic glass cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or harsh chemicals for cleaning. All of the items needed to clean and condition your ceramic glass cooktop are available at most grocery stores. See the “Range Care” section for additional information.

Avoid storing jars or cans above the range. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto

•

the cooktop could crack the cooktop. Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them.

•

Residue and water can leave deposits when heated. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the

•

cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.

To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware across the cooktop. Aluminum or

•

copper bottoms and rough on the cooktop.

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as

•

plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•

To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

•

Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. They

•

could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely. For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills as soon as possible. If

•

sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly.

•

While wearing oven mitts, remove the spill using a scraper while the surface is

•

still warm.

nishes on cookware could leave scratches or marks

ENGLISH

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

1. If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.

ENGLISH

2. Clean your glass top. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is

recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.

3. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front elements and turn them on HI

heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn o the front elements.

4. Place a saucepan of water on each of the rear elements and turn them on HI

heat for at least 30 minutes. Turn o the rear elements.

NOTE:

This procedure evaporates any protective oils and humidity collected

•

during the manufacturing process, and enables the electronic control circuits to operate properly.

There may be a slight odor during the rst several uses: this is normal

•

and will dissipate. The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes

•

after the elements have been turned o.

COOKWARE

The choice of pan directly aects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity). For best results, select pans with the following features.

The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact, but

•

not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it. Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or cooktop.

•

Never cook food directly on the glass.

•

Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass.

•

Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is not recommended. Cast iron

•

retains heat and may result in cooktop damage. Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the glass

•

ceramic surface for cooking; aluminum foil will melt and cause permanent damage to the glass surface.

FLAT BOTTOM WITH LID

Ideal cookware should be of medium to heavy thickness, have a sides and a well-tting lid. When a pan is hot, the bottom of the pan should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking).

at bottom, straight

MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO ELEMENT

The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.

markings on glass.

Cast Iron: on a glass cooktop heats and cools slowly, but retains heat and cooks

•

evenly.

Copper: tin heats and cools quickly. Gourmet cooking, wine sauces, egg dishes.

CAUTION

Food Poisoning Hazard

Safe canning requires that harmful micro organisms 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.

Failure to do so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

•

Enamel ware: response depends on base metal. Not recommended.

•

Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.

Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too slowly.

•

Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.

Stainless Steel: heats and cools moderately. Soups, sauces, vegetables, and

•

general cooking.

HOME CANNING

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or

•

elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric

•

cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.

•

On ceramic glass models, use only

•

the cooktop and elements.
