DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in coior. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or iet ciothing or
other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units untii they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
m Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Seiect utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating eiement. The use of under- sized utensils wiiI expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of ciothing. Proper reiationship of utensii to burner
wiiI also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings - Boiiover causes smoking and greasy spiiiovers that may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Piace - Absence of these pans or bowis during

To Use DUAL:
1. Push in and turn knob clockwise from the OFF position to the DUAL zone anywhere between HI and LO.
2. Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished•
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.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the surface and cause pitting
and permanent marks.
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. They 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 in. (2.5 cm)
outside the area.
1. Surface Cooking Area
2. Cookware/Canner
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 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.
Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass) The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface
cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.
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 in. (2.5
cm) outside the cooking area.
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for ordering instructions.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home
canning products can also offer assistance.
