IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
WARNING:
injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
Do not store items of interest to children in
CAUTION:
cabinets above a cooktop – Children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the
Room.
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
cooktop.
This appliance is not intended for use by people
(including children) whose physical, sensory or mental
capacities are impaired or who lack the necessary
experience or knowledge/expertise to do so, unless such
persons are supervised or are trained to operate the
appliance by a person who accepts responsibility for their
safety.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the cooktop.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should not be
stored near surface units.
WARNING: Failing to supervise an electric grill when
cooking on it with oil or fat is dangerous and constitutes a fire
hazard.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with one
or more surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
CAUTION: The cooking process should be
supervised. Short cooking periods require constant
supervision.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
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, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Metal objects, such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
should not be left on the grill’s cooking surface as they may
get hot.
Do Not Cook on 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. Turn off the device to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
If the power supply cord gets damaged, have it replaced
by the manufacturer, the latter’s service agent or by
qualified personnel in order to avoid danger.
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
The device is not designed to be started up by an
external timer or by a separate remote control system.
For units with ventilating hood –
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements –
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.

COOKTOP USE
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements, or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more
than 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements,
or surface burners at the same time.
■ Use only at-bottomed canners.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and a
well-tting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick nish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick nish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
CookwareCharacteristics
Aluminum■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best
formost cooking tasks.
Cast iron■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Heats slowly but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low-to-medium
heatsettings
Copper■ Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain
■ See stainless steel or cast iron.
enamelon-steel or
castiron
Stainless steel■ Heats quickly but unevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper on
stainless steel provides even heating.
9
Ceramic Glass
The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is ON.
Some parts of the surface cooking area may not glow red when
an element is ON. This is normal operation. The burner will cycle
on and off to maintain the selected heat level. It will also randomly
cycle off and back on again, even while on High, to keep the
cooktop from extreme temperatures.
It is normal for the surface of light-colored ceramic glass to
appear to change color when surface cooking areas are hot.
As the glass cools, it will return to its original color.
Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help
keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. On
cooktops with light-colored ceramic glass, soils and stains may
be more visible and may require more cleaning and attention.
Cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are recommended.
For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
■ 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.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
using a scraper while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills
are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and
can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough nishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop. Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum
containers on the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks
that cannot be removed completely.
■ 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.
■ Use cookware that is about the same size as the surface
cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"
(1.3 cm) outside the area.
B
A
C
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
■ Use at-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efciency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■ Determine atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and
the cookware.
■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
■ 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 cook foods directly
on the cooktop.
