IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in 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.
■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.
■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.
■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.
■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.
■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.
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
Downdraft Ventilation System
A.Vent grille
B.Removable grease filter
C.Ceramic glass top
NOTE: Electronic touch control model is shown.
The downdraft ventilation system consists of a vent cover, filter, and vent fan. The downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see “Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.
To Use – Electronic Touch Control:
1.Touch 3 SPEED once for High mode, twice for Medium mode, or three times for Low mode. A beep will sound each time
3 Speed is touched.
2.When cooking is completed, touch OFF to turn the downdraft system off, or touch and hold 3 SPEED for approximately 4 seconds to set the downdraft ventilation system to Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, the downdraft ventilation system will shut off automatically after 10 minutes.
To Use – Knob Control:
Turn vent fan knob to LO, or HI, or to the midpoint for Medium. Turn vent fan knob to OFF when finished cooking or when the cooktop is not in use.
Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes 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 finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

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 flat-bottomed canners.
■■ For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.
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 finishes 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.

C
A.Surface cooking area

C.1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
■■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
■■ Determine flatness 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.
