cleaning.

important Safety instructions

Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough tocover the

surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may

result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned inward and Should
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.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers cause
smoking andgreasy spillovers that may ignite,ora pan that

has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part
of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended

for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk

of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your
cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the

grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the
hood or filter.

FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. Ifcooktop
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
a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes

if applied to a hot surface.

• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass.

This could cause glass to break.

• Donotslidepansacrossthecooktopsurface. Theymay
scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other productive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such

substances.

IMPORTANTINFORMATION FOR PROPER iNFRARED TOUCH CONTROL FUNCTION

Setting Surface Controls

General Cooktop information
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements
located below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element
underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches
the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See
Figure 1).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be
used. The type and size of cookware, the number of
surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors
that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to
areas beyond the surface elements. The areas
surrounding the elements may become hot enough to

cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As
the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To
maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on
and off. The heating element retains enough heat to
provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off
cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Cooktop Appearance

Figure 1

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements
and Controls

Your cooktop isequipped with radiant surface burners
with 4 different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food
quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element
wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop
as follows (See Figure 2):

• One small 6 inch radiant element located at the right
rear position

= One dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the

right front position

• Two 8 inch radiant elements located at both the left

front and rear positions.

• One Bridge radiant element located between left front

and rear elements.

See pages 10 and 11 for more information about using
Bridge radiant element.

NOTE: (White glass cooktops only). Due to the high
intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the

glass surface will turn green when the element is turned
off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come

back to its original white color after it has completely
cooled down.

Cooktop radiant areas that heat

Figure 2

NOTE: Please read detailed instructionsfor ceramic

glass cooktop cleaning inthe General Care & Cleaning

section and Before You Call checklist section of this
Use and Care Guide.

NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the
element to cycle on and off, even at the Hi setting. This

helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling

at the Hi setting isnormal and can occur if the cookware

istoo small for the radiant element or if the cookware
bottom isnot flat (For information concerning cookware,

refer to use proper cookware on page 7 of this Use and
CareGuide)

Figure 2

Operating the Bridge Element

The cooktop contains a Bridge element that you may connect with the left front element to
allow for griddle-type cooking with suitably long rectangular or oval cookware. When the
Bridge element is engaged, a single control maintains even temperature across both
elements. See figure 3. For even longer cookware, turn on the left rear element. See figure

4. Since it has an independent control, you may set the rear element to the same cooking

temperature as the Bridge, or to a cooler temperature to create an area on the cookware
surface for keeping food warm.

To Operate the Bridge Element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element.
