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.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate
or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can
be set to MELT & HOLD for minimal element operation.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can
be set to HI when bringing liquids to a rapid boil. Touch the
“down” arrow to immediately reach the HI setting.

To Us e:
1.
Touch ON/OFF.
2.
Touch the “up” or “down” arrow to increase or decrease
power.
3.
To choose a power level between HI and MELT & HOLD,
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 off
all elements at the same time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights (on Touch Control models)
The Hot Surface Indicator Lights are located next to each of the
cooktop touch controls. 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.

1. Hot Surface Indicator Light
Ceramic 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 on 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.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, 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.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than 1 in. (2.5 cm)
outside the area.

3. 1 in. (2.5 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 rotating 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.
