Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn
the unit off before removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. 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 element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of bums,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended st High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

bottom, or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in riskof electric shock, or fire.
• 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, Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan
on.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop--lf cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

Surface Cooking
Ceramic-Glass Cooktop
The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heatingcoils located below the
surface of the glass. The design ofthe glass cooktop outlinesthe area of the
surface unit below. Most importantly,make sure the diameter ofthe pan
matches the diameter of the unit. Heat is transferred upthroughthe surface of
the cooktopto the cookingutensil.Only flat-bottomed pans shouldbe used.
The type and size of the cookware, number of surfaceunits in use and the
settingsofthe unitsare factors that will affectthe amount ofheat thatwill
spread to areas surroundingthe surface units.The areas surroundingthe
unitsmay become hot enoughto cause burns.
The cooktop shouldnot be used as a cutting board or worksurface inthe
kitchen. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans
with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Do not place foods
directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) damage to glass
or difficulty in cleaning will result.
Radiant Surface Units
The Radiant Surface Unit isa group of heating coilsenclosed in a ceramic
fixture below the glass cooktop.The unittemperature rises graduallyand
evenly. As the temperature rises, the unitwillglow red. To maintain the
selected setting,the unitwill cycle on and off.The heatingunit retains enough
heat to providea uniformand consistent heat duringthe off cycle.The
ceramic fixture thermally insulatesthe heating unit, concentratingheat inthe
heating zone. Forefficient cooking, turnoffthe unit several minutes before
cooking iscomplete. This willallow residualheat to complete the cooking
process. The amount of residual heat depends on the type and quality of
cooking utensil, the quantity of food being cooked and the selected heat
setting.

Indicator Light(s)
Dual Radiant Surface Units (if equipped)
The dual radiant surface unit is made up of an inner and outer coil within the
same surface unit. A control knob and rocker switch is used for operating the
different coils. The smaller unit or inner coil has a lower wattage and can be
used to prepare smaller quantities of food in smaller pans. The larger unit or
both inner and outer coils has a higher wattage and can be used to prepare
larger quantities of food in larger pans. When using the outer coil, both inner
and outer coils operate.
There are 2 different surface control lightsthat willglowon your range_a
surface indicator and a hot cooktop surface indicator.
The surface indicator, locatedon the control panel, glows when any surface
unitisturned on.A quick glance at the lightafter cookingis an easy check to
be sure all surfacecontrolsare turned off.
The hot cooktop surface indicator, located underthe glass cooktopor on
the controlpanel, willcome on as the surface cookingarea heats up and will
continueto glowuntilthe glass cooktophas cooled downto a moderate level.
