■ Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
■ 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.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly
on the cooktop.
Cooktop On Indicator Light
The Cooktop On indicator light is located on the console panel.
When any control knob on the console panel is turned on, the
Cooktop On indicator light will glow.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
On ceramic glass models, the Hot Surface indicator light is located
on the console panel.
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 is turned off.
Dual Zone Cooking Element
The Dual Zone cooking element offers flexibility depending on the
size of the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as
a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger-size cookware.
Rapid Boil Element (Right Front Element)
The Rapid Boil cooking element offers additional cooking flexibility.
The Rapid Boil cooking element can be used to boil liquids faster.
The lowest melt setting can be used to prepare sauces, brown or
saute foods, and keep foods at a low temperature. Use cookware
appropriate in size for the Rapid Boil cooking element.
Melt Element (Left Rear Element)
The Melt cooking element offers flexibility due to a wide range of
settings between Hi and Melt. The Hi heat option can be used to
boil small amounts of liquid quickly. To reduce the power setting,
turn the knob clockwise. The Melt setting is designed for delicate
foods that require low heat, such as when melting chocolate or
holding sauces. Use cookware appropriate in size for the Melt
cooking element.
Downdraft Ventilation System
The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking vapors,
odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft
ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see
“Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.
