ELEMENT AND CONTROL SETTING
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
SINGLE RADIANT ELEMENT
This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the glass surface
to provide the heat for cooking. The elements will cycle on and o by their own
temperature limiters.
Temperature limiters
Each radiant burner has its own sensor to protect the glass cooking surface from
extreme high temperatures. The limiter will operate automatically by cycling the
element through the cycles as dened by knob setting (HI-LO).
DUAL RADIANT ELEMENT
The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating
area. Either the small (inner element) or both (inner and outer) elements may be
selected for use. There are an innite number of heat settings between the LO and
HI position. Fixed positions are found at LO and HI to dene minimum and maximum
heat setting.
To turn ON the inner element, push down on the control knob and turn it
counterclockwise following the single line graphics.
To turn ON both inner and outer elements together, push down on the control
knob and turn clockwise following the double graphics line.
7
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
All these settings are recommended without the element being preheated, a range
of heat settings is listed because the actual setting depends on:
Type and quality of pan
•
Type, quantity and temperature of the food
•
Element used and cook’s preferences
•
TYPE OF FOOD

Hot surface indicator light
Each element features a hot surface indicator light to show when the cooking area is
ON or hot. The signal light will turn on automatically in the area marked with a circle.
The light remains on as long as the surface cooking area is too hot to touch even
after the surface cooking area is turned o.
ELECTRIC COOKTOP OPERATION
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible
•
signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing
process.
If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
•
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.
There may be a slight odor during the rst several uses: this is normal and will
•
dissipate.
Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware being selected and
•
used.
The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the
•
elements have been turned o.
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 use aluminum foil directly on the glass; it will melt and damage the glass
•
surface.
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 can melt and cause permanent
damage.

COOKWARE
GENERAL
The choice of pan directly aects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity).
For best results, select pans with the following features.
Flat base
When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom)should rest evenly on the surface without
wobbling (rocking). Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, a well
tting lid and the material should be of medium to heavy thickness.
Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop.
Match Pan Diameter to radiant element
The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
COOKING UTENSIL GUIDELINES
Aluminum: heats and cools quickly. Frying, braising, roasting. May leave metal
•
markings on glass.
Cast Iron: heats and cools quickly. Not recommended. Retains excessive heat
•
and may damage cooktop.
Copper: tin heats and cools quickly. Gourmet cooking, wine sauces, egg dishes.
•
Enamel ware: response depends on base metal. Not recommended.
•
Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.
•
10
Glass Ceramic: heats and cools slowly. Not recommended. Heats too slowly.
CAUTION
•
Imperfections in enamel may scratch cooktop.
Stainless Steel: heats and cools moderately. Soups, sauces, vegetables, and
•
general cooking.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN CANNING
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.
Pots that extend beyond one of the surface unit’s circle are not recommended for
most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner,
larger-diameter pots may be used.
This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.
However, do not use large diameter canners or other large-diameter pots for
frying or boiling foods other than water.
Most syrup or sauce mixtures, and all types of frying, cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass
cooktop surfaces.
Be sure the canner ts over the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or
•
its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use
smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with anged or rippled
•
bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact
with the surface units and take a long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable
•
recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the
United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To
•
avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.
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 at.

CLEANING THE COOKTOP
WARNING
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not use flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
Plastic, paper, and cloth can melt or burn when in contact with a hot
surface. Do not let these items come in contact with the hot glass.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
Burn Hazard
Make sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning
any part of the cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury.
DAILY USE
Wipe o spatters with a clean, damp cloth; use white vinegar if smudge remains;
rinse.
When dry, bu surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.
Apply a small amount of cooktop cleaning specic ceramic crème on a daily basis.
This provides a protective lm that makes it easy to remove water spots or food
spatters. The temperature of the cooking surface reduces the protective qualities
of this cleaner.
It must be reapplied before each use. Use a clean cloth and apply cooktop cleaning
crème before each use to remove dust or metal marks that can occur on the counter
level surface between uses.
