Important Safety Instructions
^WARNING
1. Read all instructions before using
the cooktop.
2. Install or locate the cooktop only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is
recommended that the cooktop be
installed by a qualified installer.
The cooktop must be properly
connected and grounded to
electrical supply.
3. DO NOT use the cooktop for
warming or heating the room.
Persons could be burned or injured
or a fire could start.
4. DO NOT leave children alone in
area where cooktop is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the cooktop.
They could be burned or injured.
5. DO NOT wear loose or hanging
garments when using the cooktop.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could be
burned.
6. DO NOT repair or replace any part
of the cooktop unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
7. DO NOT store flammable materials
on or near the cooktop. They could
explode or burn.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using
the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:
8. DO NOT use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering
with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Flaming grease outside
of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a
multipurpose dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher.
9. Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. DO
NOT use a towel or bulky cloth for a
potholder. They could catch on fire.
10. Select a pan with a flat bottom that
is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller than
the surface unit, some of the
heating element will be exposed
and may result in the igniting of
clothing or potholders. Correct pan
size also improves cooking
efficiency.
11. DO NOT leave surface units on high
heat settings. Boil-overs and greasy
spill-overs could cause steam and
smoke, and could ignite and burn
you.
12. Make sure the reflector bowls are
in place during cooking. Cooking
without reflector bowls may
subject the wiring and components
underneath them to damage.
13. DO NOT line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners.
Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock
or fire.
14. Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain types of
glass, glass ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
15. Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping of the
pan.
16. DO NOT soak removable heating
elements in water. The element
will be damaged and shock or fire
could result.
17. DO NOT heat unopened
containers. They could explode.
The hot contents could cause
burns and container particles
could cause injury.
18. DO NOT store things children
might want above the cooktop.
Children could be burned or
injured whUe climbing on it.
19. DO NOT touch surface units or
areas near surface units. Areas
near surface units 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 surface units until
they have had sufficient time to
cool.
■ FOR YOUR SAFETY ■
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF
THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide. For best
results, start cooking at the high
settings, then turn the control knob
down to continue cooking.
Use a high setting to start food cooking;
to bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium-high setting to hold a
rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes.
Use a medium setting for gravy,
puddings and icing; to cook large
amounts of vegetables.
Use a medium-low setting to keep food
cooking after starting it on a higher
setting.
Use a low setting to keep food warm
until ready to serve. Set the heat higher
or lower within the low band to keep
food at the temperature you want.
Solid element surface units
(Model CEX215V)
Before placing a pan on solid element
surface units for the first time, heat on
high setting for five minutes. The
surface units will give off smoke as the
protective coating, applied at the factory,
finishes bonding to the surface.
