COOKTOP SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

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 Touch Controls

COOKTOP USE

Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The cooktop touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for optimal cooking results. For normal surface cooking element operation, the cooktop touch controls can be set anywhere between SIMMER and HIGH.

When melting foods such as chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the right front and left front surface cooking areas can be set to MELT for minimal element operation.

For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can be set to HIGH when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch the “down” arrow to immediately reach the HIGH setting.

To U se :

1. Touch ON/OFF.

2. Touch the “up” or “down” arrow to increase or decrease

power.

3. To choose a power level between HIGH and SIMMER, touch

and hold either arrow until the desired level has been reached.

4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface

cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all elements off at the same time.

HIGH ■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

Medium High 10-6

MED Medium 6-4

Medium Low 4-2

SIMMER

DUAL COOKING ZONE(S)

MELT FUNCTION ■ Melt chocolate or butter.

WARM FUNCTION

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ Maintain a slow boil.

■ Fry or sauté foods.

■ Cook soups, sauces and

gravies.

■ Stew or steam food.

■ Simmer.

■ Provide lowest simmer/heat

setting.

■ Home canning.

■ Large-diameter cookware.

■ Large quantities of food.

■ Keep cooked foods warm.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights

The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the cooktop touch controls. See “Parts and Features” section. The Hot Surface Indicator Lights will glow as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.

If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, and if the power failure is less than 1 hour, the Hot Surface Indicator Lights will remain on after power is restored to the cooktop. They will remain on until the cooktop has cooled completely.

ALL OFF

The ALL OFF cooktop touch controls turn off all surface cooking areas that are in use at the same time.

LOCKED

The LOCKED cooktop touch control prevents unintended use of the surface cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out, the surface cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch controls.

To Lock Cooktop: Press and hold the LOCKED keypad for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, a light will glow red above the “ALL OFF LOCKED” indicator, indicating that the cooktop touch controls are in the lockout position.

To Unlock Cooktop: Press and hold the LOCKED keypad for 5 seconds.

Radiant Glass

The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It will cycle on and off, at all settings, to maintain the selected heat level.

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

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

■ Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a

heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.

■ 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.

■ Clean up sugary spills and soils as soon as hot surface

indicator light goes off. If spills and soils are not wiped up while warm, surface pitting can occur.

■ 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. It could leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed completely.

■ Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or

aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■ Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking

area. Cookware should not extend more than 1" (2.5 cm) outside the area.

A. Surface Cooking Area B. Cookware/Canner C. 1" (2.5 cm) Maximum Overhang

■ 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.

■ Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

Dual Cooking Zone(s)

The Dual Cooking Zone(s) offers flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

When you are using the single size element, the dual size element can be turned on at any time, and you can switch back to the single size element if needed.

To Use SINGLE:

1. Touch ON/OFF SINGLE.

2. Touch the “up” or “down” arrow to increase or decrease

power.

3. To choose a power level between HIGH and SIMMER, touch

and hold either arrow until the desired level has been reached.

4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF SINGLE to turn

surface cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all elements off at the same time.

To U se DUA L:

1. Touch ON/OFF DUAL.

2. Touch the “up” or “down” arrow to increase or decrease

power.

3. To choose a power level between HIGH and SIMMER, touch

and hold either arrow until the desired level has been reached.

4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF DUAL to turn surface

cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all elements off at the same time.

■ 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.

Melt Function

The Melt Function is available on both the right front and left front elements, and is ideal for melting chocolate or butter.

To U se :

1. Touch ON/OFF.

2. Touch the “up” arrow once for MELT.

3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface

cooking area.

Warm Function

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

The Warm Function is available on the rear elements, and can be used to keep cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or not the other surface cooking zones are in use.

It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Warm Function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel.

Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use, and that have flat bottoms to make direct contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove cookware.

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the Warm Function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.

To U se :

1. Touch ON/OFF.

2. Touch the “up” arrow once for WARM.

3. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn off surface

cooking area.

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. Canners should not extend more than 1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements

or surface burners at the same time.

■ Only use flat-bottomed canners.

■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office. 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 flat bottom, straight sides, 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.

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.
