COOKTOP SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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.

COOKTOP CONTROLS - TOUCH-ACTIVATED CONTROLS

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 you are melting foods such as chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can be set to Power Level 1 for minimal element operation.

For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch controls can be set to High when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch Power Level 10 to immediately reach the highest setting.

A. Power level 1 light

To Use:

1.Touch the ON keypad for the desired element. The Power Level 1 light will blink.

2.While the Power Level 1 light is blinking, touch the desired power level on the Power Level selector bar.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

The Hot Surface Indicator Light is located in the central area of the control panel, above the Power Level selector bar. 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.

Power level selector bar

A beep will sound each time a pad is touched. The lights for the selected temperature setting and all lower temperatures will glow.

NOTE: If a power level setting is not selected within approximately 10 seconds, the element will automatically shut off.

3.To change the temperature setting while cooking, touch the ON keypad for the desired element and select a new Power Level temperature on the Power Level selector bar while the Power Level 1 light is blinking.

4.When finished cooking, touch OFF to turn off surface cooking area(s) individually or ALL OFF/LOCK to turn off all surface cooking areas at once.

If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface Indicator Light will remain on up to 45 minutes after the power is restored to the cooktop.

Component Temperature Management

The cooktop regulates the temperature of the internal components during use. The cooktop automatically reduces the power of all the elements in use to keep the internal components from over-heating. To resume optimal cooking performance, allow the cooktop to cool down for 30 minutes.

Surface On Indicator Light

The control panel has a Surface On indicator light. When any of the elements are on, the light will glow.

The power level 1 light next to an element will glow when that element is on.

Dual/TripleElement

The dual and triple elements offer flexibility depending on the size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a regular element. The dual and triple sizes combine single, dual and outer elements, and are recommended for larger cookware, large quantities of food, and home canning.

KeepWarm

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

The Keep Warm surface cooking area can be used to keep cooked foods warm, and may be used whether or not the other surface cooking zones are in use. One hour is the recommended maximum time to maintain food quality.

It is not recommended for heating cold foods. When the Keep Warm function is in use, it will not glow red like the cooking zones, but the indicator light will glow on the control panel.

Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use, and those that have flat bottoms to make direct contact with the cooktop surface. Use pot holders or oven mitts to remove cookware.

Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food, as it may melt onto the cooktop surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

Food quality may deteriorate if food is kept on the Keep Warm function for an extended period of time. For best results, keep food warm for no longer than 30 to 45 minutes.

A separate Keep Warm surface cooking area is available on some models.

To Use the Keep Warm Surface Cooking Area (on some models):

1.Touch ON keypad for the Keep Warm Surface cooking area. Power Level 1 light will blink.

2.While the Power Level 1 light is blinking, touch the desired power level on the Power Level selector bar.
