ABOUT YOUR COOKTOP
ik. PAllTinN
Before cooking ...
• Always place a pan on the surface unit before you
turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never
operate surface unit without a pan in place.
• NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food
or cookware.
During cooking ...
• Be sure you know which knob controls which surface
unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface
unit.
• Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce
to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never
use a high heat setting for extended cooking.
• NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage
the pan and the appliance.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect
some parts of the cooktop, especially around the
surface units, to become warm or hot during
cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.
After cooking ...
• Be sure surface element is off after cooking.
• Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.
Other tips ...
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
elements do not install cabinet storage directly
above a unit.
• If storage is provided, limit it to items that are
infrequently used and can be safely stored in an
area subjected to heat.
• Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• Aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE or highly
flammable when exposed to heat. Avoid their use or
storage near an appliance.
• NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items,
unattended on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent
may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics,
or increase pressure in closed containers causing
them to burst.
• NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any
other metal object, other than a utensil on a surface
element, to contact heating elements.
HOW TO OPERATE SURFACE UNIT
1. Place pan on surface unit.
2. Push in and turn knob to desired
setting.
• Each knob is identified by

DRIP BOWLS, select models
• Be sure drip bowl is properly
installed and in place.
• Drip bowl will not “rock” when
installed properly. Notch above
opening on bowl should be
centered over screw that secures
receptacle to the cooktop.
• Absence of these bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or component parts underneath
the cooktop to damage.
• To prevent risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip
bowls with aluminum foil.
Your range will be equipped with either chrome plated or
porcelain coated steel drip bowls.
• Chrome drip bowls will turn blue or gold over time or
if overheated. This type of discoloration is normal and
permanent. It will not affect cooking performance.
• To protect the chrome or porcelain finish:
• Avoid using high settings for long periods of time.
• Reduce to a lower setting once food begins
cooking.
• Do not use oversized cookware. Pan should not
extend more than 1 inch from the element.
• Clean bowls after each use.
ABOUT YOUR COOKTOP
CAUTION
