Important Safety Instructions It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have the appropriate outlet or junction box with the correct, properly grounded wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. It is the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important Safety Instructions CAUTION • When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot. • Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda. • Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths.
Important Safety Instructions Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use. Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop. Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
Before BEFORE Setting SETTING Surface SURFACE Controls CONTROLS About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
Before Setting Surface Controls Using Proper Cookware The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 1: Testing cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper cookware”. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 1: Testing cookware”).
Before Setting Surface Controls Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements Your cooktop is equipped with radiant surface radiant elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
Before Setting Surface Controls Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements Element On and Hot Surface Backlit Knobs • A single radiant element has one circle. • A white glow means the element is ON. • A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles. The dual radiant element may be set using only the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements may be set to heat together for a larger surface. • A red glow means the element is HOT.
Before Setting Surface Controls Home Canning Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures. • Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat.
Setting SETTING Surface SURFACE Controls CONTROLS Single radiant surface elements (all models) To operate the single radiant element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Figure 9) to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested radiant surface element settings” in Table 1). 3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.
Setting Surface Controls 15 Dual radiant surface elements (some models) Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements. To operate a dual radiant element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer elements.
CARE AND CLEANING Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later. CAUTION Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool. If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and provide adequate ventilation.
CARE AND CLEANING 17 Surface or Area Cleaning Recommendation Stainless Steel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use cleaners containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia. Smudge Proof™ Stainless Steel Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
CARE AND CLEANING Cooktop Maintenance Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop. Cooktop Cleaning CAUTION Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking.
CARE AND CLEANING 19 Cooktop Control Knob Reinstallation IMPORTANT Each cooktop surface element type (single, dual, and simmer-to-boil) has its own specific type of control knob. These knobs are NOT interchangable among the different element types. Reinstalling knobs to a different element type and shaft type may result in damage to the knob and shaft. BACK OF KNOB To remove a knob: turn to the OFF position, grasp firmly, and pull off the shaft.
