areas free from things that will bum. Food,

wooden utensils, grease buildup, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids could catch fire.

Plastic utensils could melt and canned foods could explode.

Your appliance should never

COOKWARE USED for cooktop cooking should be

flat on the bottom and large enough to cover the heating area being used.

This will improve heating efficiency. Undersized utensils expose the heating area and may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing.

NEVER LEA VE surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers result in smoking or

greasy spills that could catch fire. ALWAYS turn utensil handles inward and

away from other surface units to reduce the risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact or

spillage.

NEVER cook on a broken cooktop; cleaning

solutions or spillage could penetrate it and

create the risk of electrical shock or fire.

PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired position while the oven is cool. Ifracks must be

moved while oven is hot, do not let the potholder contact the hot oven elemenL

RADIANTCOOKTOPCOOKING

Before using your new radiant cooktop, clean it with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme®. This will leave

a protective coating.

The cooking zones are shown by the outline on the glass. The sign near each control knob

shows you which radiant zone is turned on by

that knob.

COOKING ZONES

RIGHT

REAR

If you don't know if

your cookware is flat ( on the bottom, try this . .,_J

test. Turn your pan upside down on the

countertop, place a ruler flat against the surface of the pan. The bottom of the pan and

the edge of the ruler should fit flush against

each other all the way across. Turn the ruler a

full 360 degrees, checking as you turn for any

space between the two surfaces.

Stainless Steel: Highly recommended for use with your new cooktop. Especially good

with a sandwich clad bottom.

Use pans and woks that are flat on the bottom.

The size of the pan should be the same size as

the zone used when cooking.

SIZE OF

COOKING

ZONE

Pans should be flat on bottom

Aluminum: Heavy weight aluminum cookware recommended.

Cast Iron: Cast iron cookware that is completely covered with porcelain enamel is

recommended. Cast iron that is not covered

with porcelain enamel may scratch the glass

ceramic surface of the cooktop. Copper Bottom: Has good performance,

but it can leave a residue on the cooktop surface.

Glass.Ceramic or Stoneware: Usable,

but not recommended. It may scratch the surface of the cooktop.

When the knobs are turned on, coils beneath

the glass radiate heat through the glass to the cooking utensil. It will take a few minutes for

the coils to heat; as they do, a red glow can be seen on the surface of the cooktop.
