COOKTOP USE

Cooktop Controls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE.

The left front and right rear burners provide the highest heat setting. The left rear and right front burners allow more accurate simmer control at the lowest setting.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is unoccupied.

To Set:

1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2.Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1.Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.

2.Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3.Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

4.Replace the correct size burner cap onto the correct size burner base, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

On some models, each size burner cap and burner base has a corresponding letter “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” To ensure a proper fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the burner cap matches with its corresponding letter on the burner base.

Ceramic Glass

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains. 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.

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 cooktop and can 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 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.

7

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

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.

Home Canning

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.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a wellfitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

11-inch (28 cm) Square Griddle

The 11 in. (28 cm) griddle is a square pan with extra low sides and one long handle. It has an uncoated hard-anodized interior and exterior, and is perfect for the high heat needed for searing and grilling.

The griddle may also be used in the oven when broiling. When finished cooking, use an oven mitt to slide oven rack out to the stop position and remove the griddle from the oven.

Do not use knives or metal utensils on the griddle surface. Use only plastic or nylon cooking utensils.

Do not preheat on HI. Excessive heat will cause discoloration, shorten the life of the surface, and may warp griddle and cause damage to the cooktop.

Do not wash griddle in the dishwasher.

First Time Use:

1.Before cooking for the first time, wash the griddle in warm soapy water with a sponge. Rinse with warm water and towel dry.

2.Preheat griddle on medium setting for 5 minutes. Allow griddle to cool completely.

3.Apply a light coating of vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray to griddle.

To Use:

1.Place griddle over surface cooking grate, and push in and turn the control knob to the MED setting. Preheat griddle for

5 minutes.

2.Place foods on griddle, and choose correct temperature setting for foods according to your recipe.
