USING YOUR SMOOTHTOP
COOKING AREAS
The four surface cooking areas on your
range are identified by permanent pat-
terns in thecooktop. There aretwo large
and twosmall areas. Use the smaller ar-
eas for small cooking utensils and the
larger areas for large utensils. This con-
serves energy.
TO operate: Push in and turn knob, in
either direction, tothe desired heat set-
ting.

SIGNAL LIGHTS
Ranges are equipped with one to four
signal lights to indicate when a surface
element is on. The light will remain on
until the element is turned off. After a
cooking operation, be sure element and
signal light are off.
HINTS
If food iscooking too fast or if boilovers
occur, remove lidand reduce to a lower
setting. Allow enough time for the cook-
ing area to adjust to the new setting.
To help keep cooktop clean be sure
cooking area and utensil bottom are
clean and dry before use.
Do not allow plastic objects, aluminum
foil, sugar, or foods with high sugar con-
tent to melt onto the hot cooktop. Melted
materials can cause permanent dam-
age to the cooktop.
SURFACE CONTROLS
The cookingarea controls are called IN-
FINITE controls. This type of control
provides an infinite choice of heat set-
tings from LOW to HIGH. The control
can be set either on any of the num-
bered settings or between the num-
bered settings.

Knobs on your range may not look like
this knob but they operate as described
in this booklet.
HOT SURFACE LIGHT
The range isequipped with a HOT SUR-
FACE light. This red light will turn on to
indicate that the cooking area is hot and
will remain on until the area has cooled.
RETAINED HEAT
We suggest that you start with a lower
heat settingthen gradually increase the
setting until you find the optimum set-
ting. Boilovers are more likelyto occur if
you startouton HIGH then reduceto the
lower setting.
The smoothtop cooking area retains
heat for a period of time after the ele-
ment has been turned off. Put this resid-
ual heat to good use. Turn the element
off a few minutes before food is com-
pletely cooked and use the retained
heat to complete the cooking operation.
After 30 minutes, the cooktop may be
too cool to keep foods warm; however,
the TOP MAY STILL BE TOO WARM
TO TOUCH. When the HOT SURFACE
indicator light turns off, the top will be
cool enough to touch.

To protect the top, it is not recom-
mended touse the topas a work surface
or as a cutting board or to cook food di-
rectly on the cooktop without a utensil.
Do not use a trivet or metal stand (such
as a wok ring) between the utensil and
the cooktop. These items can mark or
etch the surface and affect cooking effi-
ciency.
Thin gauge aluminum cookware, alumi-
num foil or foil containers such as pop-
corn poppers are NOT recommended
for use on the cooktop. They will leave
metal marks.
Do not slide glass items across the
cooktop. They may scratch or damage
the top.
Do NOT slide aluminum cookware
across the cooktop. This may result in
aluminum marks which then must be im-
mediately removed with a recom-
mended cooktop cleaner.
