cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.

* The glass-ceramic surface may

appear discolored when it is hot.

This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

* Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat

for a period of time after the unit is turned off. When the HOTSURFACE

light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.

* NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the

cooktop.

OOOK NG AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are

identified by permanent patterns on the

glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking, fitthe pansizetothe element size.

Pansshould not extend more than I/2to

1-inch beyond the cooking area.

over the knobs to prevent sliding the

pan across the knob. This could cause

surface scratching of the knob. Toprevent the cooktop from discoloring

or staining:

• Clean cooktop after each use.

• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon asthe cooktop has cooled as these spills may discolor the surface.

Toachieve optimum cooking performance, useheavy-gauge, flat,smooth bottom pans that conform tothe diameter ofthecooking

area.

CANNING AND OVERSIZE

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from

heavy=gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces.Thebasemust not be more than 1 inch larger than the ele-

ment. When canners and pots do not meet these

standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.

When canning, use the High heat set= ring only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner. Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.
